Deepak Chopra Quotes

I wouldn't have changed a thing in my past. Life is like dominoes: if you move one, it wouldn't fall the right way.

On every journey you take, you are met with options. At every fork in the road, you make a choice. These are the decisions that shape your life.

In every life there comes a point when you have to make a decision about how you will live.

You make what seems a simple choice: choose a man or a job or a neighborhood- and what you have chosen is not a man or a job or a neighborhood, but a life.

Decisions determine destiny.

Sometimes you make choices in life and sometimes choices make you.

One thing about me, when I make a decision about something, I realize when you make choices in life, that dictates your life.

Coming back is the thing that enables you to see how all the dots in your life are connected, how one decision leads you another, how one twist of fate, good or bad, brings you to a door that later takes you to another door, which aided by several detours--long hallways and unforeseen stairwells--eventually puts you in the place you are now.

The decisions you make are a choice of values that reflect your life in every way.

I know the kind of street I'm going down. I know my own strengths and weaknesses.

As a person, I am totally obsessed with the choices and decisions we make in our lives and how they dictate the course of our lives. Seemingly random choices that we make end up defining everything.

I have a lot of things that I wish I had done differently given the opportunity to redo it but that would have changed everything, and I am very content with where I am today.

There comes a turning point in the life of every person when he reflects on his journey and work and ponders on the next road to take. Is this the pinnacle, the ultimate? What next?

I don't regret any steps that I take in life.

When you make bad decisions bad things happen. And it was so simple. You know, the decisions you make are going to become the life that you live!

I was at the crossroads of my life when I was 7 years old.

I don't think there was any point where I was like, 'I want to be an actor for the rest of my life.' The nice thing about being a kid is you don't have to make those decisions. Then all of a sudden, you blink, and you're 18.

Lot of people know very early what they want, but I didn't know I wanted acting.

Choices are the hinges of destiny.

You write your life story by the choices you make.

There are no simple answers in life. There is a good and bad in everyone and everything. No decision is made without consequence. No road is taken that doesn't lead to another. What's important is that those roads always be kept open, for there's no telling what wonder they might lead to.

The course of our lives is not determined by great, awesome decisions. Our direction is set by the little day-to-day choices which chart the track on which we run.

It's the story of my life. You see, the quality of any advice anybody has to offer has to be judged against the quality of life they actually lead. Now, as you look through this document you'll see that I've underlined all the major decisions I ever made to make the stand out. They're all indexed and cross-referenced. See? All I can suggest is that if you take decisions that are exactly opposite to the sort of decisions that I've taken, then maybe you won't finish up at the end of your life" --she paused, and filled her lungs for a good should--"in a smelly old cave like this!

Our lives will depend upon the decisions which we make, for decisions determine destiny.

It is often by a trivial, even an anecdotal decision, that we direct our activities into a certain channel, and thus determine which of the potential expressions of our individuality become manifest. Usually we know nothing of the ultimate orientation or of the outlet toward which we travel, and the stream sweeps us to a formula of life from which there is no returning. Every decision is like a murder, and our march forward is over the stillborn bodies of all our possible selves that will never be.
