Where do you need to think for yourself? When we begin to cultivate awareness of our thoughts and emotions, we begin to see just how much we live according to other people’s and society’s beliefs and actions. Don’t get upset by this.

Your task is not to seek for Love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.
6. Thinking Bigger!
Prejudice is a great time saver. You can form opinions without having to get the facts.
When I was a child people simply looked about them and were moderately happy; today they peer beyond the seven seas, bury themselves waist deep in tidings, and by and large what they see and hear makes them unutterably sad.

1940 A.D. – “That potion is snake oil, swallow this pill.”
1985 A.D. – “That pill is ineffective, take this antibiotic.”

The greatest disease in the West today is not TB or leprosy; it is being unwanted, unloved, and uncared for. We can cure physical diseases with medicine, but the only cure for loneliness, despair, and hopelessness is love.

The poverty in the West is a different kind of poverty – it is not only a poverty of loneliness but also of spirituality.

Anything worth doing is worth doing poorly until you learn to do it well.
The greatest danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it!
The victory of success is half won when one gains the habit of setting goals and achieving them. Even the most tedious chore will become endurable as you parade through each day convinced that every task, no matter how menial or boring, brings you closer to fulfilling your dreams.
Vision without action is a daydream. Action without vision is a nightmare
Everything you want is just outside your comfort zone.

Don’t ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive, and then go do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.
