Sex is a spiritual experience.
Deepak Chopra

Fear, anger, stubbornness, and distrust portray themselves as your rescuers. Actually these energies only make you more closed off. Tell yourself: Nobody ever solved a situation by panicking no one ever solved a situation by refusing to hear new answers no one solved a situation by shutting down.

The only thing that matters is the choice you are making now--this very instant.
Deepak Chopra

First, say to yourself, 'I'm totally independent of the good or bad opinions of others.' Second: 'I'm beneath no one.' Third: 'I'm fearless in the face of any and all challenges.'
Deepak Chopra

The world is a reflection of who we are and if we don't like the reflection, it doesn't really help to break the mirror.
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.
