Your fears are not walls, but hurdles.
Dan Millman
Life has three rules: Paradox, Humor, and Change. - Paradox: Life is a mystery don't waste your time trying to figure it out. - Humor: Keep a sense of humor, especially about yourself. It is a strength beyond all measure - Change: Know that nothing ever stays the same.
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?

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
There are no mistakes, only lessons. If you don't learn the lesson the first time, they get harder.
Dan Millman
Everything you'll ever need to know is within you the secrets of the universe are imprinted on the cells of your body.
Dan Millman
The warrior is Here, Now.
Dan Millman
If you desire to dig a well to reach water, your efforts are more fruitful if you dig one 100-foot-deep hole than if you dig ten holes each 10 feet deep.
Dan Millman
A jet plane cannot mow the lawn, but it can fly to distant destinations. Don't worry so much about what you can't do just do what you can as only you can do it.
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
Unless the desire to change remains strong, body and mind tend to return to old, familiar patterns. It takes time-from three to six months-for old habits to become obsolete. By the end of that time, you'll have adapted to a new pattern. In a sense, you'll have found a new way of life.
Dan Millman
A warrior does not give up what he loves, he finds the love in what he does
