The subtler one's awareness, the more powerfully it can heal.
Deepak ChopraRead
One of the unique things about the human brain is that it can do only what it thinks it can do. The minute you say 'my memory isn't what it used to be' or 'I can't remember a thing today.' You are actually training your brain to live up to your diminished expectations.
Interpretation
Your beliefs about your abilities can limit or enhance your performance.
This quote by Deepak Chopra emphasizes the power of self-perception in shaping one's capabilities. It suggests that the mind has a significant influence on the functioning of the brain, and when we express negative beliefs about our abilities—like our memory—we inadvertently set limitations that can hinder our performance and potential. By adjusting our mindset to be more positive and confident, we can encourage our brain to rise to those expectations instead.

According to Vedanta, there are only two symptoms of enlightenment, just two indications that a transformation is taking place within you toward a higher consciousness. The first symptom is that you stop worrying. Things don't bother you anymore. You become light hearted and full of joy. The second symptom is that you encounter more and more meaningful coincidences in your life, more and more synchronicities. 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.
Control thy passions lest they take vengence on thee.
Men say they only learn this but he said that no creature can learn that which his heart has no shape to hold.
It is a mistake to regard age as a downhill grade toward dissolution. The reverse is true. As one grows older, one climbs with surprising strides.
Whatever is done without ostentation, and without the people being witnesses of it, is, in my opinion, most praiseworthy: not that the public eye should be entirely avoided, for good actions desire to be placed in the light; but notwithstanding this, the greatest theater for virtue is conscience.
