It is indeed pathetic that despite living in the Nature’s limitless treasure of joy, we shut our inner self in the narrow barriers of prejudiced convictions and selfish passions. As a result, we get entrapped in the smog of abrupt, fallacious, irrelevant thoughts and often remain fearful, jealous, worried and depressed in one way or the other. All our misery is an outcome of our inner bankruptcy. It’s time we realize it and improve ourselves right from the root of our thinking rather than attributing our failures and sorrows to – “ill omen”, “lack of resources or support” or “destiny”. – Pandit Shriram Sharma Acharya

A new world is not made simply by trying to forget the old. A new world is made with a new spirit, with new values. – Henry Miller

In a high-IQ job pool, soft skills like discipline, drive, and empathy mark those who emerge as outstanding. - Daniel Goleman

Just imagine you’re four years old, and someone makes the following proposal: If you’ll wait until after he runs an errand, you can have two marshmallows for a treat. If you can’t wait until then, you can have only one – but you can have it right now. It is a challenge sure to try the soul of any fouryear- old, a microcosm of the eternal battle between impulse and restraint, id and ego, desire and self-control, gratification and delay… There is perhaps no psychological skill more fundamental than resisting impulse. It is the root of all emotional self-control, since all emotions, by their very nature, lead to one or another impulse to act.- Daniel Goleman

Leadership’s First Commandment: Know Thyself. - Harvard Business Review

Feelings come and go like clouds in a windy sky. Conscious breathing is my anchor. - Thich Nhat Hanh

Breathing is a rhythmic activity. Normally a person at rest makes approximately 16 to 17 respiratory incursions a minute. The rate is higher in infants and in states of excitation. It is lower in sleep and in depressed persons. The depth of the respiratory wave is another factor which varies with emotional states. Breathing becomes shallow when we are frightened or anxious. It deepens with relaxation, pleasure and sleep. But above all, it is the quality of the respiratory movements that determines whether breathing is pleasurable or not. With each breath a wave can be seen to ascend and descend through the body.- Alexander Lowen

Yoga does not start or end on your mat, but is present in every breath you take.- Evita Ochel

He who does not understand your silence will probably not understand your words. - Elbert Hubbard

Silence is a source of Great Strength. - Lao Tzu

In the silence of the heart God speaks. If you face God in prayer and silence, God will speak to you. Then you will know that you are nothing. It is only when you realize your nothingness, your emptiness, that God can fill you with Himself. Souls of prayer are souls of great silence.- Mother Teresa

Nothing strengthens authority so much as silence. - Leonardo da Vinci

Do not embark on an endeavor on the spur of the moment without analyzing its pros and cons. The absence of discrimination is the cause of great misfortune. Fortune, ever greedy for good qualities in men, embraces those who engage themselves in an endeavor after consultations and discussions with the men of knowledge.–Mahakavi Bhairavi

The wise knowing the instability of youth and beauty, of life and treasure-hoards, of prosperity and the company of the loved ones, never covet them. – Shaunak (Mahabharata)

Our desires are never gratified by indulgence. On the other hand, with indulgence, they only flame up like fire with libations of sacrificial butter. – Yayati (Mahabharata)

Is irrelevant.-Suzy Kassem

Life is like a mirror. Smile at it and it smiles back at you. - Peace Pilgrim

“One of the great liabilities of history is that all too many people fail to remain awake through great periods of social change. Every society has its protectors of status quo and its fraternities of the indifferent who are notorious for sleeping through revolutions. Today, our very survival depends on our ability to stay awake, to adjust to new ideas, to remain vigilant and to face the challenge of change.” - Martin Luther King, Jr.

“Mindfulness has to do with waking up and living in harmony with oneself and with the world. It is examining who we are, constantly questioning our views of the world and our place in it, while cultivating appreciation for the fullness of each moment we are alive. It is the direct opposite of taking life for granted. It is empowering as well, because paying attention in this way opens channels to deep reservoirs of creativity, intelligence, imagination, clarity, determination, choice, and wisdom within us.”- Jon Kabat-Zinn

Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future. - John F. Kennedy

“Anger and hatred cannot bring harmony. The noble task of arms control and disarmament cannot be accomplished by confrontation and condemnation. Hostile attitudes only serve to heat up the situation, whereas a true sense of respect gradually cools down what otherwise could become explosive. We must recognize the frequent contradictions between short-term benefit and long-term harm.”
- Dalai Lama

We are all one
For there to be harmony and peace, everything must be balanced. And for there to be balance, there must be equality. And where there is equality, there will be justice. And where justice is honored and preserved, there will always be truth. Eliminate the concept of division by class, skills, race, income, and nationality. We are all equals with a common pulse to survive. Every human requires food and water. Every human has a dream and desire to be happy. Every human responds to love, suffering and pain. Every human bleeds the same color and occupies the same world. Let us recognize that we are all part of each other. We are all human. We are all one.
- Suzy Kassem

In the egoic state, your sense of self, your identity, is derived from your thinking mind - in other words, what your mind tells you about yourself: the storyline of you, the memories, the expectations, all the thoughts that go through your head continuously and the emotions that reflect those thoughts. All those things make up your sense of self.- Eckhart Tolle

Memory is the mother of all wisdom. – Aeschylus

I regard memory not as a phenomenon preserving one thing and losing another merely by chance, but as a power that deliberately places events in order or wisely omits them. - Stefan Zweig
