When resources become skimpy, human beings don't suddenly cooperate to conserve what's left. They fight to the last scrap for possession of a diminishing resource.
Deepak ChopraIf you restore balance in your own self, you will be contributing immensely to the healing of the world.
Deepak ChopraYou don't have to go the gym - just walk 10,000 steps a day and you are activating your good genes. But do practise yoga.
Deepak ChopraSilence is the great teacher and to learn its lessons you must pay attention to it. There is no substitute for the creative inspiration, knowledge, and stability that come from knowing how to contact your core of inner silence.
Deepak ChopraWhen you become defensive, blame others, and do not accept and surrender to the moment, your life meets resistance. Any time you encounter resistance, recognize that if you force the situation, the resistance will only increase. You don't want to stand rigid like a tall oak that cracks and collapses in the storm. Instead, you want to be flexible, like a reed that bends with the storm and survives.
