The subtler one's awareness, the more powerfully it can heal.
Deepak ChopraRead
Being more aware creates responsibility. What does responsibility mean? It means the ability to respond. The more conscious you are in your ability to respond, the more creative you'll be.
Interpretation
Awareness enhances our sense of responsibility, leading to greater creativity in how we respond to life.
Deepak Chopra's quote emphasizes the connection between awareness and responsibility, suggesting that being mindful and conscious in our actions empowers us to respond creatively to challenges. As our awareness increases, so does our ability to make thoughtful choices, fostering a more engaged and innovative approach to life.

According to Vedanta, there are only two symptoms of enlightenment, just two indications that a transformation is taking place within you toward a higher consciousness. The first symptom is that you stop worrying. Things don't bother you anymore. You become light hearted and full of joy. The second symptom is that you encounter more and more meaningful coincidences in your life, more and more synchronicities. And this accelerates to the point where you actually experience the miraculous.
I will practice acceptance. Today I will accept people, situations, circumstances, and events as they occur. I will know that this moment is as it should be, because the whole universe is as it should be. I will not struggle against the whole universe by struggling against this moment. My acceptance is total and complete. I accept things as they are this moment, not as I wish they were.
Let me embrace thee, sour adversity, for wise men say it is the wisest course.
Nurture your mind with great thoughts
Atticus said that Jem was trying hard to forget something, but what he was really doing was storing it away for a while, until enough time passed. Then he would be able to think about it and sort things out. When he was able to think about it, Jem would be himself again.
Never laugh at live dragons, Bilbo you fool!" he said to himself, and it became a favourite saying of his later, and passed into a proverb. "You aren't nearly through this adventure yet," he added, and that was pretty true as well.
