2. For everything you
have missed, you
have gained
something else.
And for everything
you gained, you lose
something else.
It is all about your
outlook towards life.
You can either regret
or rejoice.
3. The most
difficult phase
in life
Is not when no
one understand
you: it is when
you don’t
understand
yourself
4. Courage does not
always roar,
sometimes it is a
quite voice at the end
of the day,
saying….
”I will try again
tomorrow”
5. Something inside you gets
very happy when you
acknowledge the
present...
Today I will be
conscious, yoday I will
try my best to be clear.
Today I will try to
undestand,
Today I will feel my
precense here, on this
earth, my precense, not
somebody else’s precense.
My precense...
6. There is something real in
you.
There is something beautiful
in you
If you want to understand
something, understand
yourself.
If you want to love, love
this beautiful breath that
comes into you
If you do this , you will be
given a gift of peace
And this not an ordinary
gift
7. Never break four
things in our life…
Trust, relation, prom
ise and heart,
Because when they
break, they don’t
make noise but pains
a lot.
8. The joy that you seek
already exists in your heart.
Just awake to this
possibility
When you are awake then
you are conscious and feel
the infinite.
Only then, joy happens, the
truest joy.
The joy of being full.
9. Do you wake up in the
morning feeling thankful?
Or do you wake up with the
burden of what needs to be
done that day?
Peace is not hidden in the
mountains, it is hidden in
your heart.
It is a lamp inside of you.
A lamp of
understanding, clarity and
knowledge
10. Wherever you have been
in the journey of life,
You have always carried
a huge box inside full of
joy.
This is the joy you can
get in touch with.
And if you want to do
that, it will be your
personal journey.
11. Enlightenment is not
only the end of
suffering
and of continuous
conflict within and
without,
But also the end of the
dreadful enslavement to
incessant thinking…
What an incredible
liberation this is!
12. When you are focus on
the present,
you are in the alive
state that is
free of time,
free of problems,
free of thinking…
Slipping away from
the present moment even
for a second may mean
death …
13. Unease, anxiety,
tension, stress,
worry…
Are caused by too
much future and not
enough presence.
Guilt, regret,
resentment, grievances,
sadness, bitterness…
Are cause by too much
past and not enough
presence.
14. Are you polluting the
world
or cleaning up the mess?
You are responsible for
your inner space; nobody
else is, just as you are
responsible for the planet
As within so without..
If humans clean inner
pollution, then they will
also cease to create outer
pollution.
15. Die to the past every
moment.
You do not need it.
Only refer to it when it is
absolutely
relevant to the present.
Feel the power of this
moment and the
fullness of Being.
Feel your presence…
16. Know that one thing that is
already inside of you.
Not only know, but fall in love
with that one thing inside of
you.
When you know, and have
fallen in love with that one
thing inside of you, you will be
rewarded.
And when you are rewarded,
guess what your reward will
be?
Your reward will be peace
