The subtler one's awareness, the more powerfully it can heal.
Deepak ChopraRead
Inherent in every intention and desire is the mechanics for its fulfillment. And when we introduce an intention in our pure potentiality, we put this infinite organizing power to work for us.
Interpretation
Our intentions and desires have the inherent ability to manifest, especially when aligned with our true potential.
Deepak Chopra suggests that the very act of setting an intention or having a desire comes with the built-in mechanisms for its realization. When we tap into our pure potential, we are able to harness the universe's organizing power, directing it towards achieving our goals and fulfilling our aspirations.

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.
Speak only endearing speech, speech that is welcomed. Speech, when it brings no evil to others, is pleasant.

No obligation to do the impossible is binding.
Build the raft of meditation and self-discipline, to carry you across the river. There will be no ocean, and no rising tides to stop you; this is how comfortable your path shall be.
Uncertainty that comes from knowledge (knowing what you don't know) is different from uncertainty coming from ignorance.
