The subtler one's awareness, the more powerfully it can heal.
Deepak ChopraRead
When we begin to experience our life as the miraculous expression of divinity - not occasionally, but all the time - then we will know the true meaning of success.
Interpretation
True success comes from recognizing and experiencing the divine nature of life regularly.
Deepak Chopra suggests that genuine success is not merely about achieving goals or material wealth but rather about recognizing and appreciating the miraculous and divine aspects of life. When we consistently view our existence through this lens of divinity, we unlock a deeper understanding of what it means to be successful.

And this accelerates to the point where you actually experience the miraculous.
I will practice acceptance. Today I will accept people, situations, circumstances, and events as they occur. I will know that this moment is as it should be, because the whole universe is as it should be. I will not struggle against the whole universe by struggling against this moment. My acceptance is total and complete. I accept things as they are this moment, not as I wish they were.
I realized why I can cook for different environments. Because of everything I've gone through growing up. Why can I cook for a Hollywood event without blinking an eye? Because I cooked at the Beverly Hilton and because I moved to Villa Park. Why can I cook for kids on Hollywood Boulevard at night? Because I went through it.
