The subtler one's awareness, the more powerfully it can heal.
Deepak ChopraRead
In every failure is the seed of success... _x000D_ Our failures are stepping stones in the mechanics of creation, bringing us even closer to our goals. In reality, there is no such thing as failure. What we call failure is just a mechanism through which we can learn to do things right.
Interpretation
Failures are opportunities for growth and learning that ultimately lead to success.
This quote by Deepak Chopra emphasizes the importance of viewing failures not as negative outcomes, but as essential components of the journey toward success. It suggests that failures serve as valuable lessons that inform and improve our future efforts, ultimately guiding us closer to achieving our goals. By redefining failure as a learning mechanism, we can foster resilience and a growth mindset.

During a team meeting when discussing a recent project setback.
The subtler one's awareness, the more powerfully it can heal.
To promote the healing response, you must get past all the grosser levels of the body - cells, tissues, organs and systems -- and arrive at a junction point between mind and matter, the point where consciousness actually starts to have an effect.
It is only because you take your mind to be yourself, and make it dwell on what you are not, that you lose your sense of well-being.
The most creative act you will ever undertake is the act of creating yourself.
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.
If all you're doing is grinding for the man, it's going to burden you. Once you say, 'Hey, I'm grinding for the man, but I'm putting money away, and this is part of my exit strategy,' you're working for you.
When you devote yourself to achieving your goal, you will not be bothered by shallow criticism. Nothing important can be accomplished if you allow yourself to be swayed by some trifling matter, always looking over your shoulder and wondering what others are saying or thinking. The key to achievement is to move forward along your chosen path with firm determination.
No one has ever built a statue to a critic, it's true. On the other hand, it's only the people with statues that get pooped on by birds flying by.
Do what you LOVE to do, and do it so well that those who come to see you do it will bring others to watch you do it again and again and again.
I wish you way more than luck.
A positive attitude gives you power over your circumstances instead of your circumstances having power over you.
