You will find truth more quickly through delight than gravity. Let out a little more string on your kite.
Alan Cohen
Keeping your commitment to your purpose does not depend on other people keeping theirs.
Alan Cohen
I love the balls-to-the-walls rule-breaking approach the Beatles had in the studio (which I emulate), although I don't try to make my songs sound like their songs. But every time I crank a knob of some piece of equipment, or plug an instrument into the wrong amp/effect, I am channeling the Beatles.

Alan Cohen
If you gave your inner genius as much credence as your inner critic, you would be light years ahead of where you now stand.
Alan Cohen
Scared and sacred are spelled with the same letters. Awful proceeds from the same root word as awesome. Terrify and terrific. Every negative experience holds the seed of transformation.
Alan Cohen
Appreciation empowers not just money transactions, but all interactions. Gratitude is one of the greatest meditations of a lifetime, the fastest attitude uplifter I know. Be grateful for all the good in your life and your good will only increase, along with your happiness.

Alan Cohen
The word courage comes from the French word 'coeur', which means heart. True power proceeds not from force, but from love.
Alan Cohen
Because fear is insatiable, everything that is insatiable is born of fear.
Alan Cohen
To be a miracle worker you do not have to get a doctoral degree, become a minister, eat a particular food, or be able to meditate for long hours. All you need to do is to begin to see beauty in your life and those around you.
Alan Cohen
Optimism may sometimes be delusional, but pessimism is always delusional.
Alan Cohen
Eternity does not start after you die it begins when you really live.
Alan Cohen
Successful people pay more attention to their visions and goals than to history and the opinions of others.
Alan Cohen
When confronted with a situation that appears fragmented or impossible, step back, close your eyes, and envision perfection where you saw brokenness. Go to the inner place where there is no problem, and abide in the consciousness of well-being.
Alan Cohen
You always have energy to do what you are passionate about.
Alan Cohen
The people who matter will recognize who you are.
Alan Cohen
Focus on the highest, clearest, and most meaningful teaching you can find, and let all else go.
