More quotes by Dan Millman
Life is not suffering it's just that you will suffer it, rather than enjoy it, until you let go of your mind's attachments and just go for the ride freely, no matter what happens.
Dan Millman
As a peaceful warrior, I would choose when, where and how I would behave. With that commitment, I began to live the life of a warrior.
Dan Millman
Responsibility is a grace you give yourself not an obligation
Dan Millman
If you don't get what you want, you suffer if you get what you don't want, you suffer even when you get exactly what you want, you still suffer because you can't hold on to it forever.
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
Willpower is the key to success. Successful people strive no matter what they feel by applying their will to overcome apathy, doubt or fear.
Dan Millman
Our sense of self-worth is the single most important determinant of the health, abundance, and joy we allow into our lives.
Dan Millman
As poet-philosopher Rabindranath Tagore reminds us, We cannot cross the sea merely by staring at the water. Simplicity has power. And living on purpose comes to this: Just do it. How much simpler can we get?
Dan Millman
Enlightenment is not an attainment it is a realization. And when you wake up, everything changes and nothing changes. If a blind man realizes that he can see, has the world changed?
Dan Millman
Faith is the courage to live your life as if everything that happens does so for your highest good and learning. Like it or not.
Dan Millman
If we agree on everything, only one of us is necessary.
Dan Millman
Surrender means accepting this moment, this body, and this life with open arms. Surrender involves getting out of your own way and living in accord with a higher will, expressed as the wisdom of the heart. Far more than passive acceptance, surrender uses every challenge as a means of spiritual growth and expanded awareness.
Dan Millman
Looking back we see with great clarity, and what once appeared as difficulties now reveal themselves as blessings.
Dan Millman
You are rich if you have enough money to satisfy all your desires. So there are two ways to be rich: you earn, inherit, borrow, beg, or steal enough money to meet all your desires or you cultivate a simple lifestyle of few desires that way you always have enough money.
Dan Millman
Money is neither my god nor my devil. It is a form of energy that tends to make us more of who we already are, whether it's greedy or loving.
Dan Millman
It's better to make a mistake with the full force of your being than to timidly avoid mistakes with a trembling spirit. Responsibility means recognizing both pleasure and price, action and consequence, then making a choice.
Dan Millman
May you find grace as you surrender to life. May you find happiness, as you stop seeking it. May you come to trust these laws and inherit the wisdom of the Earth. May you reconnect with the heart of nature and feel the blessings of Spirit.
Dan Millman
Do you have the courage for it? Do you have the love? If you have enough of one, you will develop the other.
Dan Millman
Ultimately, fear of failure generates a vicious circle that creates what is most feared. To break this cycle, you need to make peace with failure. It isn't enough to merely tolerate it you need to appreciate the failure and use it.
Dan Millman
Anybody can be happy when things are going well, and I've learned that. But when things aren't going well it draws out the inner warrior in us to radiate that and bring whatever happiness we can to the situation.
