But the real secret to lifelong good health is actually the opposite: Let your body take care of you.
Interpretation
What this quote means
True health comes from trusting the body's natural ability to heal itself.
In this quote, Deepak Chopra emphasizes that maintaining lifelong good health involves allowing our bodies to function naturally and intuitively, rather than constantly forcing external solutions or interventions. He suggests that we should listen to our bodies, respect their innate processes, and create conditions that support our health, rather than trying to control it excessively.

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.
