Don Miguel Ruiz Quotes

Your life is meant for you to understand and process, not to make anyone else happy.

Now, I'm not 100% there, but every day I wake up, I'm happy being me, and I just feel fulfilled.

My life has changed. I'm not walking around any more wishing I wasn't me, which was the case at one time.

Best advice that I ever got is to do whatever it takes to make myself happy, so that I'll be able to make others happy. If I'm not happy, I can't make other people happy.

To create the life of your dreams, the time has come for you to love You. Focus on Your joy. Do all the things that make You feel good. Love You, inside and out. Everything will change in your life, when you change the inside of you. Allow the Universe to give you every good thing you deserve, by being a magnet to them all. To be a magnet for every single thing you deserve, you must be a magnet of love.

When you do your best you learn to accept yourself

Trust yourself. Create the kind of self that you will be happy to live with all your life.

Don't depend on a guy for your happiness. You have to live your own life and do your own thing. That's when good things come around - when you do your own thing and you're not worried about a man. It will happen in due time.

It is the chiefest point of happiness that a man is willing to be what he is.

Everything I want to do, and to accomplish, is on the other side of the universe. That's peace of mind, energy, freedom. And I'm making myself ready to go, joyfully and willingly. I think I'm ready to be everybody's friend, and to do anything for anybody. It's heavy.

The place to improve the world is first in one's own heart and head and hands.

There is no way to reach your fullest potential if you don't really find the love of yourself.

Live your beliefs and you can turn the world around.

I've got to where I've always wanted to be. I just feel more myself, and I've learned not to care what other people think. It's happened slowly, very slowly. But I did it.

If you do the things you enjoy and are good at, I really have a feeling that that will lead to having a fulfilling life, and people with fulfilling lives are able to be 'good people.'
