1.            One must know oneself as one is, not as one wishes to be, which is merely an ideal and therefore fictitious, unreal; it is only that which is that can be transformed, not that which you wish to be. J Krishnamurti

2.            A man should look for what is, and not for what should be. Albert Einstein

3.            The purpose of yoga is awareness, not perfected poses, beliefs, or any kind of attainment. Awareness from moment to moment requires quiet strength, flexibility, and balance. A good Yoga practice develops exactly these characteristics. Jim Gaudette

4.            The best we can do...in response to our incomprehensible and dangerous world, is to practice holding equilibrium internally - no matter what insanity is transpiring out there.  Elizabeth Gilbert (Eat, Pray, Love)

5.            When you live your life with an appreciation of coincidences and their meanings, you connect with the underlying field of infinite possibilities.  Deepak Chopra (The Spontaneous Fulfillment of Desire)

6.            The man who sat on the ground in his tipi meditating on life and its meaning, accepting the kinship of all creatures and acknowledging unity with the universe of things, was infusing into his being the true essence of civilization. Luther Standing Bear

7.            Each breath is transforming me into thin image. J. Krishnamurti

8.            If we want to overcome fear, we must mentally deny fear and concentrate on the opposite quality, courage.  The positive always overcomes the negative. Swami Vishnu-devananda


Namaste Ji,
