We don't need to invest all of our faith in every concept, in every symbol, in every opinion that forms the totality of our knowledge. Faith means to believe in something 100% without a doubt, and to doubt our own knowledge can seem like the most frightening thing that can happen to us.
Miguel Angel RuizYou were programmed to deliver a message, and the creation of that message is your greatest art. What is the message? Your life.
Miguel Angel RuizWe were born in this society, we grew up in this society. And we learn to be like everyone else, playing nonsense all the time.
Miguel Angel RuizI had a massive heart attack, and in my belief that I was close to dying, I took the opportunity to teach my son about death. That lesson increased his faith in such a way that he completely accepted all the changes that life brings us. He learned that only the present exists. From that moment on, he began living in the present time, knowing that the future is just a possibility, and without believing all the opinions from the past. He understood that there are no guides, or masters. Each one of us is our own guru, and we can only save ourselves.
Miguel Angel RuizThrough our faith, we gain the courage to take action. And through action, we move one step closer toward the manifestation of our desires.
Miguel Angel Ruizthere is no need to justify what we are. there is no need to work hard to become what we are not. we just need to return to our intergrity, to the way we were before we learned to speak. perfect. as little children, we are authentic. only the present time is real for us; wo don't care about the past, and we aren't worried about the future. we enjoy life; we want to explore and have fun. nobody teaches us to be that way; we are born that way.
