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.
We must let go of the life we have planned, so as to accept the one that is waiting for us.
If the path before you is clear, you're probably on someone else's.
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.
Life is not a problem to be solved but a mystery to be lived. Follow the path that is no path, follow your bliss.
Vegetarians are people who cannot hear tomatos screaming.
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.
It is by going down into the abyss that we recover the treasures of life. Where you stumble, there lies your treasure.
All the gods, all the heavens, all the hells, are within you.
Opportunities to find deeper powers within ourselves come when life seems most challenging.
We're not on our journey to save the world but to save ourselves. But in doing that you save the world. The influence of a vital person vitalizes.
Myth is much more important and true than history. History is just journalism and you know how reliable that is.
Midlife is when you reach the top of the ladder and find that it was against the wrong wall.
We're in a freefall into future. We don't know where we're going. Things are changing so fast, and always when you're going through a long tunnel, anxiety comes along. And all you have to do to transform your hell into a paradise is to turn your fall into a voluntary act. It's a very interesting shift of perspective and that's all it is... joyful participation in the sorrows and everything changes.
God is a metaphor for that which transcends all levels of intellectual thought. It's as simple as that.
If you are on the right path you will find that invisible hands are helping.
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 cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek. Fear of the unknown is our greatest fear. Many of us would enter a tiger's lair before we would enter a dark cave. While caution is a useful instinct, we lose many opportunities and much of the adventure of life if we fail to support the curious explorer within us.
The goal of life is to make your heartbeat match the beat of the universe, to match your nature with Nature.
The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are.
Art is the set of wings to carry you out of your own entanglement.
Life is like arriving late for a movie, having to figure out what was going on without bothering everybody with a lot of questions, and then being unexpectedly called away before you find out how it ends.
I don't believe people are looking for the meaning of life as much as they are looking for the experience of being alive.
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.
You've got to say yes to this miracle of life as it is, not on condition that it follow your rules.
