Quotes:
1. The seventh and final virtue is all about living. The Sages of Sivana believed that a truly joyful and rewarding life comes only through a process they called ‘living in the now’. These yogis knew that the past is water under the bridge and the future is distant sun on the horizon of your imagination. The most important moment is now. Learn to live in it and savor it fully.
2. My point is simply this: never put off happiness for the sake of achievement. Never put off things that are important for your well-being and satisfaction to a later time. Today is the day to live fully, not when you win the lottery or when you retire. Never put off living!
3. Life doesn’t always give you what you ask for, but it always gives you what you need.
4. We all have something that we are meant to do. Once you are connected to this mission, whether it is being a great teacher of children or an inspired artist, all your desires will be fulfilled effortlessly.
5. Everyone on this planet is a wonder of this world. Every one of us is a hero in some way of another. Every one of us has a potential for extraordinary achievement, happiness and lasting fulfillment. All it takes are small steps in the direction of our dreams.
6. Small victories lead to large victories. Tiny, incremental changes and improvements will create positive habits. Positive habits will create results. And results will inspire you towards greater personal change. Begin to live each day as if it was your last.
