1. Just for today, I will be happy. This assumes that what Abraham Lincoln said is true, that "Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be." Happiness is from within -- it is not a matter of externals.
2. Just for today, I will try to strengthen my mind. I will study, I will learn something useful, I will not be a mental loafer all day. I will read something that requires effort, thought and concentration.
3. Just for today, I will be unafraid, especially I will not be afraid to be happy, to enjoy what is beautiful, to love and to believe that those I love, love me
The first necessity for obtaining Self-knowledge is to become profoundly conscious of ignorance; to feel with every fibre of the heart that one is ceaselessly self-deceived.
The second requisite is the still deeper conviction that such knowledge - such intuitive and certain knowledge - can be obtained by effort.
The third and most important is an indomitable determination to obtain and face that knowledge.
Self-knowledge of this kind is unattainable by what men usually call 'self-analysis.' It is not reached by reasoning or any brain process; for it is the awakening to consciousness of the Divine nature of man.
To obtain this knowledge is a greater achievement than to command the elements or to know the future.
-H.P. Blavatsky
Love is the immortal flow of energy that nourishes, extends and preserves. Its eternal goal is life.
You will find as you look back upon your life that the moments when you have truly lived are the moments when you have done things in the spirit of love..
The greatest achievement is selflessness.
The greatest worth is self-mastery.
The greatest quality is seeking to serve others.
The greatest precept is continual awareness.
The greatest medicine is the emptiness of everything.
The greatest action is not conforming with the worlds ways.
The greatest magic is transmuting the passions.
The greatest generosity is non-attachment.
The greatest goodness is a peaceful mind.
The greatest patience is humility.
The greatest effort is not concerned with results.
The greatest meditation is a mind that lets go.
The greatest wisdom is seeing through appearances.
-Atisha
No individual can ultimately fail.
The Divinity which descends into humanity is bound to re-gain its original state.
-N. Sri Ram, Thoughts for Aspirants, self-realization
