Dan Millman
The world's a puzzle no need to make sense out of it. - Socrates
Dan Millman
Live with a peaceful heart cultivate a warrior's spirit.

Do you have the courage for it? Do you have the love? If you have enough of one, you will develop the other.

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
There are no mistakes, only lessons. If you don't learn the lesson the first time, they get harder.
Dan Millman
When we know deep down that we're acting with integrity despite impulses to do otherwise, we feel gates of higher energy and inspiration open inside of us.

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
Aim not to win or succeed, but for excellence in the moment.

Wake up! If you knew for certain you had a terminal illness--if you had little time left to live--you would waste precious little of it! Well, I'm telling you...you do have a terminal illness: It's called birth. You don't have more than a few years left. No one does! So be happy now, without reason--or you will never be at all.
Dan Millman
Bad people don't go to hell, they are already there.
Dan Millman
Peaceful warriors have the patience to wait until the mud settles and the water clears. They remain unmoving until the right time, so the right action arises by itself. They do not seek fulfillment, but wait with open arms to welcome all things.
Dan Millman
Responsibility is a grace you give yourself not an obligation
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
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.
Dan Millman
The quality of your moments produces the quality of your life. So, as thoughts come and go and the waves of mind rush on, Carpe punctum-Seize this moment. It deserves your full attention, for it will not pass your way again.
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.
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?
