More quotes by Dan Millman
Wisdom is the use of knowledge
Dan Millman
Live with a peaceful heart cultivate a warrior's spirit.
Dan Millman
My parents, like others of The Greatest Generation who lived through the Great Depression and World War II, wanted to provide the best possible life for their children. My mother and father both attended college but dropped out to earn a living during the Depression, working the rest of their lives at blue-collar work.
Dan Millman
The light will disturb us when we're comfortable, and comfort us when we're disturbed. We turn to spirit for help when our foundations are shaking only to find out that it is spirit who is shaking them!
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
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.
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
Your fears are not walls, but hurdles. Courage is not the absence of fear, but the conquering of it.
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
Conscious evolution begins as we take responsibility for clearing our own obstructions.
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
No matter what we feel or know, no matter what our potential gifts or talents, only action brings them to life. Those of us who only think we understand concepts such as commitment, courage, and love, one day discover that we only know when we act doing becomes understanding.
Dan Millman
The secret of change consists in concentrating one's energy to create the new, and not to fight against the old.
Dan Millman
Babe Ruth was the home-run king of his time, but also the strikeout king.
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
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
Be happy now, without reason - or you never will be at all.
Dan Millman
I kind of got more interested in writing after I turned in my last college essay and nobody was going to tell me what kind of academic papers to write anymore. I could write whatever I wanted, and I realized that I actually liked it when I could choose what I would write.
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
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.
