No matter how many possibilities turn into reality, an infinite number remain.
Deepak Chopra

Affluence includes money but is not just money. It is the abundance, the flow, the generosity of the universe, where every desire we have must come true, because inherent in having the desire are the mechanics for its fulfillment.
Deepak Chopra

When you look at nutrition from a purely scientific point of view, there is no place for consciousness. And yet, consciousness could be one of the crucial determinants of the metabolism of food itself.
Deepak Chopra
Image
If you choose, you can influence every aspect of your brain, and therefore every aspect of your life.
Deepak Chopra
Image
I think if we can be totally nonviolent within our own self, because we are part of the web of life, we will restore cosmic harmony.

But the real secret to lifelong good health is actually the opposite: Let your body take care of you.
Deepak Chopra
Image
By not paying attention to your body, you are putting it in the same predicament as a neglected child. How can a child be expected to develop normally if the parents pay no attention, if they ignore its cries for help, and remain indifferent to whether their child is happy or unhappy?
Deepak Chopra
Image
Everyone is acting from his own level of consciousness. This is all we can ask of ourselves or anyone else. However hurtful someone is, he is doing the best he can, given the limits of his consciousness.
Deepak Chopra
Image
Every second of time is a doorway to unbounded possibilities. Yet if you are not open to them, these possibilities shrink.
Deepak Chopra
Image
Most of us take for granted that time flies, meaning that it passes too quickly. But in the mindful state, time doesn't really pass at all. There is only a single instant of time that keeps renewing itself over and over with infinite variety.
Deepak Chopra
Image
Desire is what leads you through life until the time comes when you desire a higher life. So do not be ashamed that you want so much, yet at the same time do not fool yourself into thinking that what you want today will be enough tomorrow.
Deepak Chopra
Image
The fastest growing segment of the population in the world right now is over the age of 90, and in some cases over the age of 100 in some countries. So people are living longer. And even though much of it is attributed to modern medicine, it's not. It's lifestyle. It's nutrition. It's the quality of exercise, the ability to manage stress.

Your inner strength is invulnerable to fear.

Quantum physics has found that there is no empty space in the human cell, but it is a teeming, electric-magnet ic field of possibility or potential
Deepak Chopra

The current perception I get from the evening news is that the world is dominated by human failure, crime, catastrophe, corruption, and tragedy. We are all tuning in to see how the human mind is evolving, but the media keeps hammering home the opposite, that the human mind is mired in darkness and folly.
Deepak Chopra

The cosmos is structured to bring about growth, and growth is always in the direction of greater love and happiness.
Deepak Chopra
Image
The only thing that matters is the choice you are making now--this very instant.
Deepak Chopra

For thousands of years, human beings have been obsessed with beauty, truth, love, honor, altruism, courage, social relationships, art, and God. They all go together as subjective experiences, and it's a straw man to set God up as the delusion. If he is, then so is truth itself or beauty itself.
