Then you are alive- Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara
If you live in a past dream, you don’t enjoy what is happening right now because you will always wish it to be different than it is. There is no time to miss anyone or anything because you are alive. Not enjoying what is happening right now is living in the past and being only half alive. This leads to self-pity, suffering, and tears.
Don Miguel Ruiz • The Four Agreements
‘But you will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life,’ he said, wisely.
Matt Haig • The Midnight Library: The No.1 Sunday Times bestseller and worldwide phenomenon
As soon as you wake up, you realize that you have a life; life is in you, life is around you, and you smile to life. You greet life with a smile so you can really feel alive and feel the energy of being alive in you. You are generating the energy of mindfulness, and that makes you spiritual right away.
Thich Nhat Hanh • Zen and the Art of Saving the Planet
“What has life or death to do with light? In the image of My light I have made you. The relativities of life and death belong to the cosmic dream. Behold your dreamless being! Awake, My child, awake!”
Paramahansa Yogananda • Autobiography of a Yogi (Self-Realization Fellowship)
“There is only one thing you can do. You do what gives you life.” Do what gives you life. I wept with relief.
