Don Miguel Ruiz

“Don't take anything personally.”

“Every human is an artist. The dream of your life is to make beautiful art.”

“You don't need to justify your love, you don't need to explain your love, you just need to practice your love. Practice creates the master.”

“The real you is still a little child who never grew up. Sometimes that little child comes out when you are having fun and playing.”

“Be impeccable with your word.”

“Don't make assumptions.”

“Always do your best.”

“Death is not the biggest fear we have; our biggest fear is taking the risk to be alive - the risk to be alive and express what we really are.”

“Whatever happens around you, don't take it personally... Nothing other people do is because of you. It is because of themselves.”

“You can have anything you want if you are willing to give up the belief that you can’t have it.”

“We make an assumption, we misunderstand, we take it personally, and we end up creating a whole big drama for nothing.”

“Respect is one of the greatest expressions of love.”

“The dream you are living is your creation. It is your perception of reality that you can change at any time.”

“Life is like dancing. If we have a big floor, many people will dance. Some will get angry when the rhythm changes. But life is changing all the time.”

“When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won't be the victim of needless suffering.”

“The word is a force; it is the power you have to express and communicate, to think, and thereby to create the events in your life.”

“Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness and drama.”

“If you live in a past dream, you don't enjoy what is happening right now because you will always wish it to be different than it is.”

“The human mind is like a fertile ground where seeds are continually being planted.”
