Don't try to help people to 'not die', help them to enjoy life!
Bernie Siegel
Image
You can't control the world, but when you control your thoughts, you bring order.
Bernie Siegel
Image
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

What if Jesus was the only normal person who ever lived?

Inspiration is the greatest gift because it opens your life to many new possibilities. Each day becomes more meaningful, and your life is enhanced when your actions are guided by what inspires you.

Love releases incredible energy that promotes the biochemistry of healing.

The tree doesn't die, nor do I when you cut off a branch or a finger, we both heal so we don't lose all the sap or blood. That to me is total shock. Also that water defies the laws of physics by becoming less dense when frozen. Life really is a miracle and all the things that are been built into us through it.

God wants us to know that life is a series of beginnings not endings. Just as graduations are not terminations but commencements. Creation is an ongoing process and when we create a perfect world where love and compassion are shared by all suffering will cease.

You too are a work of art.

God is in everyone and everything. When we save each other or guide each other or just love each other, we are doing God's work. So God dresses in Eskimo clothing or other disguises, and responds to us whether or not we are aware enough to hear, see, or feel God's loving guidance. Everything is a tool of God, from DNA to the weather.

We destroy ourselves when we stop feeling. If you bury your feelings within you, you become a graveyard.

Medicine is a very tough thing. I mean, everyone is going to die. Sooner or later. That's a tough thing to face.

It's not about curing the disease, but healing the life then the physical benefits come.
Bernie Siegel
Image
Thoughts are chemical. They can either kill us or cure us.
Bernie Siegel
Image
There is no such thing as an incurable disease, only incurable people.
Bernie Siegel
Image
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
Image
I truly feel the best doctors are ones who are criticized by nurses, patients and family. They do not make excuses and learn from their mistakes.

Unconditional love is the most powerful stimulant to the immune system.

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.'
