Dalai Lama Quotes

Do you believe in synchronicity? The Dalai Lama says: "I am open to the guidance of synchronicity, and do not let expectations hinder my path". When you do what you love, synchronicity starts happening. And because you enjoy what you're doing, there's less need to give up when your expectations aren't met straight away. You have the will and the faith to keep going.

Quotes About Success

Harriet Beecher has this to say about success: "When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, till it seems as though you could not hold on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn". When things are tough, I now just like to think it's sign I'm getting close to success. Find lots of inspirational thoughts here on success.

Positive Thinking Quotes

My favorite quote from this page is from William James: "These then are my last words to you. Be not afraid of life. Believe that life is worth living and your belief will help create the fact" which is a reminder to me that the good life starts with a decision. It doesn't just happen that life becomes great. The more you cultivate the belief that life is an adventure, the more you'll experience it this way.

Attitude Quotes

William James said it best when he said "The greatest discovery of our generation is that human beings can alter their lives by altering their attitudes of mind. As you think, so shall you be." Many other luminaries have explored the relationship between attitude and success. Read some of their insights here.

Quotes About Faith

I love reading anything by Albert Einstein. This quote inspires me and reminds me why I have worked so hard to think the way I do: "It is better to believe than to disbelieve; in so doing, you bring everything to the realm of possibility". This is the purpose of faith, in my opinion. To believe that anything is possible.

Quotes On Fear

My favorite of all these good quotes on fear comes from French philosopher, Bertand Russell: "Fear is the main source of superstition, and one of the main sources of cruelty. To conquer fear is the beginning of wisdom". Fear is rarely sensible, so these days I choose not to focus on fearful thoughts.

Quotes On Optimism

It's easy to forget that life is a constant miracle. That's why I love this quote from Walter Chrysler: "To me every hour of the day and night is an unspeakably perfect miracle". As a child, I remember holding this kind of perspective. Feeling excited by every new day. Now I am working to restore this perspective.
