Deepak Chopra Quotes

Lasting happiness comes from steadily working to accomplish your goals and advancing in the direction of your life's purpose.

I want to live a full life - period.

Real success is not, like, materialistic. It's being where you want to be when you want to be; just living your life how you feel; having an ultimate goal and being able to accomplish it.

Success is not defined by money or status, necessarily, but by how many people you've impacted and how fulfilled you feel with your decisions. If you can garner all of these things, then more power and success to you, but all in all, you must feel happy and satisfied with what you personally have put out into the world.

I've created the life I wanted.

Success is doing what you want to do, when you want, where you want, with whom you want, as much as you want.

Success? I don't know what that word means. I'm happy. But success, that goes back to what in somebody's eyes success means. For me, success is inner peace. That's a good day for me.

It is the ultimate luxury to combine passion and contribution. It's also a very clear path to happiness.

I hope that in 5 years from now I'll be working and doing what makes me happy. Whatever that may be.

The ultimate of being successful is the luxury of giving yourself the time to do what you want to do.

What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals.

I have this amazing life.

Happiness comes when we test our skills towards some meaningful purpose.

I'm proud of my kids, they are doing what they want to do.

The goal isn't to be successful; it's to be happy. And so it doesn't matter if I'm doing things in New York or teaching high school or I drop it altogether and sell coffee. The goal is to be happy, and people and relationships are what makes you happy.

It's good for people to look at me and think, 'This guy is doing his thing and enjoying what he's doing and successful at it and living his life.' And that's what I'm doing, and I'm very happy.

Success is important only to the extent that it puts one in a position to do more things one likes to do.

Monetary success is not success. Career success is not success. Life, someone that loves you, giving to others, doing something that makes you feel complete and full. That is success. And it isn't dependent on anyone else.

I always had a larger view. I'm interested in real life - my family, my friends. I have tried never to define myself by my success, whatever that is. My happiness is way beyond roles and awards.

Success is not how many zeroes your bank account has. It's about making the most of the life you have.

If you can do what you do best and be happy, you're further along in life than most people.

That should be the measure of success for everyone. It's not money, it's not fame, it's not celebrity; my index of success is happiness.

Go after what you really love and find a way to make that work for you, and then you'll be a happy person.

Success has nothing to do with box office as far as I'm concerned. Success has to do with achieving your goals, your internal goals, and growing as a person. It would have been nice to have been connected with a couple more box office hits, but in the long run, I don't think it makes you happier.

As my father used to tell me, the only true sign of success in life is being able to do for a living that which makes you happy.
