More quotes by Dan Millman
No amount of knowledge will nourish or sustain your spirit, it can never bring you ulimate happiness or peace. Life requires more that knowledge it requires intense feeling and constant energy. Life demands right action if knowledge is to come alive.
Dan Millman
We are both burdened and blessed by the great responsibility of the will - the power of choice. Our future is determined, in large part, by the choices we make now. We cannot always control our circumstances, but we can and do choose our response to whatever arises. Reclaiming the power of choice, we find the courage to live fully in the world.
Dan Millman
Faith is our direct link to universal wisdom, reminding us that we know more than we have heard or read or studied that we have only to look, listen, and trust the love and wisdom of the Universal Spirit working through us all.
Dan Millman
Your greatest fear is death and your deepest craving is survival. You want Forever, you desire Eternity. In your deluded belief that you are this 'mind' or 'spirit' or 'soul', you find the escape clause in your contract with mortality. Perhaps as 'mind' you can wing free of the body when it dies, hmm?

Nature and training (in any sport or art) can teach us all the spiritual laws I describe in another book, The Laws of Spirit. But now I'm happy to share these four purposes of life that lend meaning and direction to anyone's life, especially those in transition, going through changes.
Dan Millman
No need to feel brave or confident just behave that way.
Dan Millman
Your fears are not walls, but hurdles.
Dan Millman
Stay present. You'll always have time to worry later on if you want to.
Dan Millman
The universe does not judge us it only provides consequences and lessons and opportunities to balance and learn through the law of cause and effect. Compassion is the recognition that we are each doing the best we can within the limits of our current beliefs and capacities.

Live in the Moment, Empty Your Mind of the Trash Wisdom is the Use of Knowledge
Dan Millman
Every athletic career, no matter how modest or lofty, is a journey.
Dan Millman
. . . Action always happens in the present, because it is an expression of the body, which can only exist in the here and now. But the mind is like a phantom that lives only in the past or future. It's only power over you is to draw your attention our of the present.
Dan Millman
Personal and collective awakening are one and the same - when a raindrop joins the sea, the sea also merges with the raindrop.
Dan Millman
This planet is a divine school, and daily life a classroom. Our choice of teachers depends on what we need to learn.
Dan Millman
My life has been less like a light switch suddenly turning on, and more like a dimmer switch slowly turned up, over time, more in some moments than others.
