The joy in what I do is mostly creativity. I think creativity is an ecstatic impulse that we all have. And there's nothing more joyful than having a moment of creative insight and actually creating, or rather manifesting or incarnating your creative insight into actual, physical reality.

Addiction is when you can't get enough of what you don't want any more.
Deepak Chopra
Image
No single decision you ever made has led in a straight line to where you find yourself now. You peeked down some roads and took a few steps before turning back. You followed some roads that came to a dead end and others that got lost at too many intersections. Ultimately, all roads are connected to all other roads.
Deepak Chopra

So, you pay attention to what is in every moment. And when you do that, then you realize that the presence of God is everywhere.

As you meditate, over time your consciousness becomes awake within itself. The silent witness within saturates and illuminates the mind so that it does not look to the past or the future for fulfillment. It experiences peace and freedom within itself in every moment.

All your life you've paid attention to your experiences, but never to yourself.
Deepak Chopra

Many scientists think that philosophy has no place, so for me it's a sad time because the role of reflection, contemplation, meditation, self-inquiry, insight, intuition, imagination, creativity, free will, is in a way not given any importance, which is the domain of philosophers.
Deepak Chopra
Image
Forgiveness is attention without judgment. It heals the one who forgives and the one who is forgiven.
Deepak Chopra
Image
Love allows your beloved the freedom to be unlike you. Attachment asks for conformity to your needs and desires. Love imposes no demands. Attachment expresses an overwhelming demand - Make me feel whole. Love expands beyond the limits of two people. Attachment tries to exclude everything but two people.
Deepak Chopra

Even the most time-honoured truths do not have to be accepted until they are your truths.
Deepak Chopra
Image
The possibility of stepping into a higher plane is quite real for everyone. It requires no force or effort or sacrifice. It involves little more than changing our ideas about what is normal.
Deepak Chopra
Image
If we are creating ourselves all the time, then it is never too late to begin creating the bodies we want instead of the ones we mistakenly assume we are stuck with.
Deepak Chopra
Image
One of the unique things about the human brain is that it can do only what it thinks it can do. The minute you say 'my memory isn't what it used to be' or 'I can't remember a thing today.' You are actually training your brain to live up to your diminished expectations.

We all want to experience more happiness, fulfillment, and peace.
