Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

Life is nothing to be very serious about. Life is a ball in your hands to play with. Don’t hold on to the ball. 

“why can't we control our anger? because we love perfection. make a little room for imperfection in our lives.” 

“Today is a gift from God - that is why it is called the present.” 

“I tell you, deep inside you is a fountain of bliss, a fountain of joy. Deep inside your center core is truth, light, love, there is no guilt there, there is no fear there. Psychologists have never looked deep enough.”

“If you can win over your mind, you can win over the whole world.”

“Difference between motivation and inspiration - Motivation is external and short lived. Inspiration is internal and lifelong” 

“Faith is realizing that you always get what you need.” 

“When you share your misery, it will not diminish. When you fail to share your joy, it diminishes. Share your problems only with the Divine, not with anyone else, as that will only increase the problems. Share your joy with everyone.

"For short periods of time, meditate, stay in silence. Then your inner strength is enhanced, your health remains good, you remain in a happy frame of mind, the intellect remains sharp, and joy arises in life. Then whatever you desire gets done easily"

Break through all your barriers and feel that you are blessed.This is the one and only step you have to take - the rest will all happen spontaneously.

This deep sense of feeling that "I am blessed" can help you overcome any obstacles in life. It gives you courage and confidence and it will open you up for grace to pour in.

Once you realise that you are blessed, then all complaints disappear, all grumbling vanishes, all insecurities evaporate, the sense of feeling unloved dissolves and the desire for love fades.

If you do not realise you are blessed, then doership begins. If you want to make a difference in your life, feel you are blessed. Especially for those on this path of knowledge, there is no reason for you to not feel blessed.

So feel you are blessed and take the first step towards the self.

A poor man celebrates the New Year once a year.  A rich man celebrates each day.  But the richest man celebrates every moment.
