Unless there's a personal transformation, there can be no social transformation. Deepak Chopra More Quotes by Deepak Chopra More Quotes From Deepak Chopra When you live your life with an appreciation of coincidences and their meanings, you connect with the underlying field of infinite possibilities. Deepak Chopra positiveappreciationlife You will begin to see your life as an opportunity to share the special gift you alone can bestow upon the world. Deepak Chopra specialopportunityworld Life is the coexistence of all opposite values. Joy and sorrow, pleasure and pain, up and down, hot and cold, here and there, light and darkness, birth and death. All experience is by contrast, and one would be meaningless without the other.

If you follow love, your life will become uncertain, and the ego craves certainty. Deepak Chopra egoand-lovelove-you When you struggle against this moment, you're actually struggling against the entire universe. Instead, you can make the decision that today you will not struggle against the whole universe by struggling against this moment. This means that your acceptance of this moment is total and complete.

Deepak Chopra buddhismrocksmoving When we find delight in another person, we've actually found something joyful inside ourselves that involves a shift in our awareness, a shift in our perception, because the same person is not necessarily attractive to other people.In relationship, whenever we're drawn to someone or repelled by someone, they're both mirrors of the self. We're attracted to people in whom we find traits that we want or desire in our own selves. And we are repelled by people in whom we find traits that we're denying in ourselves. So relationship is a true mirror of where we are in our evolution in consciousness. Deepak Chopra mirrorsselflove-you We live as ripples of energy in the vast ocean of energy.
