More quotes by Bernie Siegel
Embrace each challenge in your life as an opportunity for self-transformation.
Bernie Siegel
I love how Mother Theresa said she wouldn't attend an anti-war rally but if there was a peace rally to call her. So I realized it's not about waging a war against everybody's disease and diagnosis but rather about helping them live.
Bernie Siegel
When you love the unlovable and forgive the unforgivable, you’re free.
Bernie Siegel
Unconditional love is the most powerful stimulant to the immune system.
Bernie Siegel
What I try to get physically healthy people to understand is that they're going to die someday. There is no way out. And dying isn't failure, but not living is, so make use of your time. Don't keeping waiting.
Bernie Siegel
We are here to feel, wonder and gaze in awe at the world. Instead of just teaching our children how to use things and do things, I suggest we nourish their sense of wonder.
Bernie Siegel
Hoping means seeing that the outcome you want is possible and then working for it.
Bernie Siegel
Diseases can be our spiritual flat tires - disruptions in our lives that seem to be disasters at the time but end by redirecting our lives in a meaningful way.
Bernie Siegel
Being a survivor doesn't mean being strong - it's telling people when you need a meal or a ride, company, whatever. It's paying attention to heart wisdom, feelings, not living a role, but having a unique, authentic life, having something to contribute, finding time to love and laugh. All these things are qualities of survivors.
Bernie Siegel
I grew up caring about people and I would say again, that's what made me who I am. I became a doctor for what I like to call healthy reasons. Not because I'm fascinated by the human body or want to understand death, but I like people and I want to help them. That also became my problem, because I couldn't help everyone, I couldn't fix everyone
Bernie Siegel
Love is giving with no expectations...Love cures, heals, and rewards two people: the lover and the beloved.
Bernie Siegel
You can see people draw the past, present and future as well as dream about it. You go to bed at night and have a dream that says there's a lump in your right breast and the doctor who is foreign, with an accent tells you it's cancer.
Bernie Siegel
The simple truth is that happy people generally don't get sick
Bernie Siegel
I am convinced that unconditional love is the most powerful known stimulant of the immune system. If I told patients to raise their blood levels of immune globulins or killer T cells, no one would know how. But if I can teach them to love themselves and others fully, the same changes happen automatically. The truth is: love heals.
Bernie Siegel
For me, a lovely day is any day I wake up.
Bernie Siegel
I always remember the words of George Halas, the owner of the Chicago Bears football team. When he was well into his eighties a friend found him in his office on Sunday, and asked him why, at his age, he was working on a Sunday. His response, 'It’s only work if there’s someplace else you’d rather be.'
Bernie Siegel
Love releases incredible energy that promotes the biochemistry of healing.
Bernie Siegel
Feel your feelings. What you bring forth will save you.
Bernie Siegel
There is no such thing as an incurable disease, only incurable people.
Bernie Siegel
Traditional doctors say I'm a mystic. I don't deny it.
