Life is not a problem to be solved but a mystery to be lived. Follow the path that is no path, follow your bliss.
If the path before you is clear, you're probably on someone else's.
Opportunities to find deeper powers within ourselves come when life seems most challenging.
Life has no meaning. Each of us has meaning and we bring it to life. It is a waste to be asking the question when you are the answer.
You are more than you think you are. There are dimensions of your being and a potential for realization and consciousness that are not included in your concept of yourself. Your life is much deeper and broader than you conceive it to be here. What you are living is but a fractional inkling of what is really within you, what gives you life, breadth, and depth.
People forget facts, but they remember stories.
Nietzsche was the one who did the job for me. At a certain moment in his life, the idea came to him of what he called "the love of your fate." Whatever your fate is, whatever the hell happens, you say, "This is what I need." It may look like a wreck, but go at it as though it were an opportunity, a challenge. If you bring love to that moment-not discouragement-you will find the strength is there. Any disaster you can survive is an improvement in your character, your stature, and your life. What a privilege! This is when the spontaneity of your own nature will have a chance to flow.
We must let go of the life we have planned, so as to accept the one that is waiting for us.
How do you find the divine power in yourself? The word enthusiasm means 'filled with a god,' so what makes you enthusiastic? Follow it. So I have a little word: follow your bliss. The bliss is the message of God to yourself. That's where your life is.
The hero journey is inside of you; tear off the veils and open the mystery of your self.
If you are on the right path you will find that invisible hands are helping.
People say that what we're all seeking is a meaning for life. I don't think that's what we're really seeking. I think what we're seeking is an experience of being alive, so that our life experiences on the purely physical plane will have resonance within our own innermost being and reality, so that we actually feel the rapture of being alive.
When everything is lost, and all seems darkness, then comes the new life and all that is needed.
Vegetarians are people who cannot hear tomatos screaming.
The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are.
All the gods, all the heavens, all the hells, are within you.
The very cave you are afraid to enter turns out to be the source of what you are looking for.
Let the world be as it is and learn to rock with the waves.
Midlife is when you reach the top of the ladder and find that it was against the wrong wall.
The hero’s journey always begins with the call. One way or another, a guide must come to say, 'Look, you’re in Sleepy Land. Wake. Come on a trip. There is a whole aspect of your consciousness, your being, that’s not been touched. So you’re at home here? Well, there’s not enough of you there.' And so it starts.
The goal of life is to make your heartbeat match the beat of the universe, to match your nature with Nature.
Wisdom and foolishness are practically the same. Both are indifferent to the opinions of the world
If you see your path laid out in front of you - Step one, Step two, Step three - you only know one thing . . . it is not your path. Your path is created in the moment of action. If you can see it laid out in front of you, you can be sure it is someone else's path. That is why you see it so clearly.
The ultimate aim of the quest must be neither release nor ecstasy for oneself, but the wisdom and the power to serve others.
If you do follow your bliss you put yourself on a kind of track that has been there all the while, waiting for you, and the life that you ought to be living is the one you are living... Follow your bliss and don't be afraid, and doors will open where you didn't know they were going to be.
