Dan Millman
Faith means living with uncertainty - feeling your way through life, letting your heart guide you like a lantern in the dark.
Dan Millman
Embrace the higher truth that everything comes to pass exactly as it should. Find peace and wisdom by accepting what is.
Dan Millman
Autumn leaves shower like gold, like rainbows, as the winds of change begin to blow, signaling the later days of autumn.
Dan Millman
Life comes at us in waves. We can't predict or control those waves, but we can learn to surf
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
Bad people don't go to hell, they are already there.
Dan Millman
Carry your groceries, garden, and do other activities that keep you moving. You will add more years to your life and more life to your years.
Dan Millman
Our sense of self-worth is the single most important determinant of the health, abundance, and joy we allow into our lives.
