Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes

We are what our thoughts have made us; so take care about what you think. Words are secondary. Thoughts live; they travel far.

Happiness is a choice that requires effort at times.

Every time you think a negative thought, it's one step in the wrong direction, for me.

When you change the way you think, you can change the way you feel.

I sensed that my life was better when I focused on things that were working as opposed to focusing on the long list that goes wrong, but I wanted to know if there was any validity to that.

Mindfulness has helped me succeed in almost every dimension of my life. By stopping regularly to look inward and become aware of my mental state, I stay connected to the source of my actions and thoughts and can guide them with considerably more intention.

Life is all about the spirit.

True knowledge lies in knowing how to live.

Only one thing has to change for us to know happiness in our lives: where we focus our attention.

Life is a state of consciousness.

The secret of success is to be in harmony with existence, to be always calm to let each wave of life wash us a little farther up the shore.

I like to remind myself that every morning I'm making a choice to live.

I have a picture of an ideal consciousness.

We can become anyone we want to become. It takes focusing on the aspect of ourselves we want to change and reflecting on the beliefs that cause us to act in ways that are counter to the change we seek.

Mindfulness can help people of any age. That's because we become what we think.

So much of our life is dictated by our mindsets. So much of it! Of how we think, we shall become.

Whatever results you're getting, be they rich or poor, good or bad, positive or negative, always remember that your outer world is simply a reflection of your inner world. If things aren't going well in your outer life, it's because things aren't going well in your inner life. It's that simple.

I know for sure that what we dwell on is who we become.

Our happiness depends on wisdom all the way.

Our thoughts are certainly part of us; they come from us, but we are not our thoughts. Have you ever woken up in the morning and said to yourself, 'I am not going to think today; I am too tired'? No, of course not. Just as breathing happens and is constant, thoughts happen, and they are also constant.

If you nurture your mind, body, and spirit, your time will expand. You will gain a new perspective that will allow you to accomplish much more.

This age thing is all up to you. It's like happiness is up to you. You just have to understand what it is before you get it.

Your mind is the channel of it all. It feeds your soul, your heart, everything. It comes from your thoughts. The kind of person you are comes from the way you think. And it bleeds into the way you feel. And such forth. If the mind is not free, then we won't be free.

There are times in my life when I haven't been happy. Sometimes it's not even physical, it's something else. The key is identifying why you're unhappy and doing whatever you can to fix it in a healthy way.

Our life is what our thoughts make it.
