Be realistic: Plan for a miracle. ~Osho http://smpl.ws/cq via @SimpleReminders (59)

Sadness gives depth. Happiness gives height. Sadness gives roots. Happiness gives branches. Happiness is like a tree going into the sky, and sadness is like the roots going down into the womb of the earth. Both are needed, and the higher a tree goes, the deeper it goes, simultaneously. The bigger the tree, the bigger will be its roots. In fact, it is always in proportion. That's its balance. ~Osho http://smpl.ws/cq via @SimpleReminders (-260)

One thing: you have to walk, and create the way by your walking; you will not find a ready-made path. It is not so cheap, to reach to the ultimate realization of truth. You will have to create the path by walking yourself; the path is not ready-made, lying there and waiting for you. It is just like the sky: the birds fly, but they don't leave any footprints. You cannot follow them; there are no footprints left behind. ~Osho http://smpl.ws/cq via @SimpleReminders (-287)

Drop the idea of becoming someone, because you are already a masterpiece. You cannot be improved. You have only to come to it, to know it, to realize it. ~Osho http://smpl.ws/cq via @SimpleReminders (-19)

Life begins where fear ends. ~Osho http://smpl.ws/cq via @SimpleReminders (64)

My meditation is simple. It does not require any complex practices. It is simple. It is singing. It is dancing. It is sitting silently. ~Osho http://smpl.ws/cq via @SimpleReminders (-1)

Truth is not to be found outside. No teacher, no scripture can give it to you. It is inside you and if you wish to attain it, seek your own company. Be with yourself. ~Osho http://smpl.ws/cq via @SimpleReminders (-33)

Space has no "existence." "To exist" literally means "to stand out." You cannot understand space because it doesn't stand out. Although in itself it has no existence, it enables everything else to exist. Silence has no existence either, nor does the Unmanifested. ~Eckhart Tolle http://smpl.ws/cc via @SimpleReminders (-138)

Always say "yes" to the present moment.

Say "yes" to life and see how life suddenly starts working for you rather than against you. ~Eckhart Tolle http://smpl.ws/cc via @SimpleReminders (-204)

The mind is a superb instrument if used rightly. Used wrongly, however, it becomes very destructive. To put it more accurately, it is not so much that you use your mind wrongly you usually don't use it at all. It uses you. This is the disease. You believe that you are your mind. This is the delusion. The instrument has taken you over. ~Eckhart Tolle http://smpl.ws/cc via @SimpleReminders (-212)

What a liberation to realize that the "voice in my head" is not who I am. Who am I then? The one who sees that. ~Eckhart Tolle http://smpl.ws/cc via @SimpleReminders (14)

"How" is always more important that "what." See if you can give much more attention to the doing than to the result that you want to achieve through it. ~Eckhart Tolle http://smpl.ws/cc via @SimpleReminders (-27)

The secret of life is to "die before you die" and find that there is no death. ~Eckhart Tolle http://smpl.ws/cc via @SimpleReminders (4)

In my experience, there's only one thing that will always steer you toward success: That's to have a vision and to stick with it Once I have a vision for a new venture, I'm going to ride that vision until the wheels come off. ~Russell Simmons http://smpl.ws/cb via @SimpleReminders (-102)

I knew it was unrealistic to think I could build an institution overnight. But if I took baby steps, eventually it would happen. ~Russell Simmons http://smpl.ws/cb via @SimpleReminders (-5)

If you aren't passionate about a vision, it's hard to have faith in it. ~Russell Simmons http://smpl.ws/cb via @SimpleReminders (10)

I don't believe that people create their own visions. Rather, I believe that visions are actually God's way of communicating with us. ~Russell Simmons http://smpl.ws/cb via @SimpleReminders (-10)

What holds most people back isn't the quality of their ideas, but their lack of faith in themselves. ~Russell Simmons http://smpl.ws/cb (2)

Whatever obstacles appear in your path, put your head down and get past them. Those obstacles aren't real. They're just God's way of testing you. He's asking you, "Do you want to make it or not? ~Russell Simmons http://smpl.ws/cb via @SimpleReminders (-71)

It's important to focus on what we do best and master one craft at a time. ~Russell Simmons http://smpl.ws/cb via @SimpleReminders (7)

Perform all thy actions with mind concentrated on the Divine, renouncing attachment and looking upon success and failure with an equal eye. Spirituality implies equanimity. ~Bhagavad Gita http://smpl.ws/bg via @SimpleReminders (-47)

The happiness which comes from long practice, which leads to the end of suffering, which at first is like poison, but at last like nectar - this kind of happiness arises from the serenity of one's own mind. ~Bhagavad Gita http://smpl.ws/bg via @SimpleReminders (-81)

Freedom from activity is never achieved by abstaining from action. Nobody can become perfect by merely ceasing to act. In fact, nobody can ever rest from his activity even for a moment. All are helplessly forced to act. . . .A man who renounces certain physical actions but still lets his mind dwell on the objects of his sensual desire, is deceiving himself. He can only be called a hypocrite. The truly admirable man controls his senses by the power of his will. All his actions will be disinterested. ~Bhagavad Gita http://smpl.ws/bg via @SimpleReminders (-378)

Activity is better than inertia. Act, but with self-control. If you are lazy, you cannot even sustain your own body. ~Bhagavad Gita http://smpl.ws/bg via @SimpleReminders (9)
