How often we search outside of ourselves for some elusive moment, for an experience like someone else is having, for emotion we'd like to feel but aren't, at least not right now. How often we long to be somewhere other than where we are, or someone other than who we are. How easy it can be to complain about and regret our past, thinking it's somehow wrong.
The answer is to fall in love -- fall in love with our own life. Our destiny isn't some far-off moment or something that happens to someone else. Our destiny is taking place right now. It's been happening all along.
Destiny is that mysterious force or energy that magically intertwines with choice, free will, and fate. Let all those elements weave together and create your life. But know you can help to create it too, by falling in love with your own life. Love all the places you have gone and all the places you will go. Love the lessons you have learned and the way you have learned them.
Most of all, love where you are right now. Because that's where your destiny lies.
Melody Beattie
When we live without connectedness, without an illumination of spirit, we can feel in ourselves the deep longing of a lost child, a subtle longing as though we know something essential is missing, something that dances at the edge of our vision, always with us like the air we forget until the wind blows. Yet it is this elusive spirit which holds us completely, which nourishes the heart, summoning us toward our search for what life is all about. We are pulled to return to our true nature, to our wise and knowing heart.
Jack Kornfield
The deepest hunger of the human soul is to be understood, to feel heard, to feel validated... The deepest hunger of the human body is for air. If you can listen to another person, in depth, until they feel understood, its the equivalent of giving them air.
Steven Covey
Do not withhold your gift from others. Do not make the mistake of thinking that you have no gift to give. Everyone has a gift. But don't compare your gift to the gifts of others, or you may not value it sufficiently.
Paul Ferrini
Learn to get in touch with the silence from within yourself, and know that everything in this life has purpose. There are no mistakes, no coincidences, all events are blessings given to us to learn from.
Elizabeth Kubler-Ross
The minute you settle for less than you deserve, you get even less than you settled for.
Maureen Dowd
It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are.

(this one is fascinating, ponder it a bit)
When you call yourself an Indian or a Muslim or a Christian or a European, or anything else, you are being violent. Do you see why it is violent? Because you are separating yourself from the rest of mankind. When you separate yourself by belief, by nationality, by tradition, it breeds violence. So a man who is seeking to understand violence does not belong to any country, to any religion, to any political party or partial system; he is concerned with the total understanding of mankind.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Realize that now, in this moment of time, you are creating. You are creating your next moment based on what you are feeling and thinking. That is what's real.
Doc Childre
Know that you can not help but judge. What you then do with your judgment is the choice.

Every thought, action, decision or feeling creates an eddy in the interlocking, interbalancing, ever-moving energy fields of life, leaving a permanent record for all of time. This realization can be intimidating when it first dawns on us, but it becomes a springboard for rapid evolution.
David Hawkins
The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves, and not to twist them to fit our own image. Otherwise we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them.
Thomas Merton
When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.

The truth is that our finest moments are most likely to occur when we are feeling deeply uncomfortable, unhappy, or unfulfilled. For it is only in such moments, propelled by our discomfort, that we are likely to step out of our ruts and start searching for different ways or truer answers.
M. Scott Peck
You need chaos in your soul to give birth to a dancing star.
Frederick Nietzche
Chaos and Order are not enemies, only opposites.
