The difference between acting badly or brilliantly is not based on your ability, but on the state of your mind and/or body in any given moment.

Whatever people do, they do for a reason and they think that it meets their needs....by their perception.

To help other people, you've got to be able to help yourself. You go to a psychiatrist, and they're on this Prozac, Effexor, and antidepressants, you may have picked the wrong person. If you go to somebody who's broke who's selling you financial services, that might not be a good thing. You go to somebody who's fat to help you lose weight... And a lot of people ironically do these types of things.

You have to move from just working for money to a world where money works for you.

But to me the notion that spirituality is separate from the rest of life does not allow for a practical approach to living a life that has extraordinary quality.

I believe the ultimate path to enlightment is the cultivation of gratitude. When you're grateful, fear disappears. When you're grateful lack disapears. You feel a sense that life is uniquely blessed, but at the same time, you feel like you're a part of everything that exists and you know that you are not the source of it. In that state you show up differently for the people around you. Just walking around you vibrate.

People who experience negative or stressful emotions on an ongoing basis are less healthy and live shorter lives.
