“There are three levels of consciousness. The first level is when you stop thinking and letting outside sources think for you. In which you become a different mind. The second is simply thinking. The third the highest form of consciousness. Is when you rise ABOVE thought. Transcend thought by shutting it completely off.”

“The greatest learner in the world is one who can entertain perspective and then drop it.”

“Life is in a constant state of change and by evolving in the present with change - Matthew Donnelly”

“Don't let your imperfections conveniently excuse you from having discipline. Have the courage to work through your imperfections.”

“I searched for a deeper existence. What I found was myself. The next moment the journey towards self discovery began all over again.”

“Read for the sake of using others knowledge to find your own inner guidance.”

“The universe doesn't command that we love. That would be forcing it. But the Universe does have a heart and when it looks from within it wants it's components to the do the same with unconditional love. Through it's own inner guidance and thus ours.”

“The greatest way to overcome resentment of past is by gratitude of present. What you have, your friends your family, the things that you have overcome but most importantly what you plan to do now.

“The journey is the REWARD! NOT the destination.”

“Only use the mind for practical ways in life. Use your deep inner body energy, observation and breath to glide through life.”

“Criticism of others. Criticism of 'self'.Criticism is the lack of compassion, insecurity of 'self' there a self defense mechanism is to put others down to feel superior EVEN IF you disagree with their lifestyle. Let go of your 'Self'.And if you have acted wrongly according to your own self-standard. Let go of your 'self'.Recognize when others are criticizing and 'choose' not to conform to the unconscious acts of others. Be aware, let go.”

“Don't get caught in the trap of always "Needing" something. Needing something always projects your mind into the future as if you have it and is the opposite of gratitude. Be content in the present moment.”

“Let these 2 quotes sink in. In tandem together. "A goal is not always meant to be reached, it often serves as something to aim at." - Bruce Lee "Gentlemen, we will chase perfection, and we will chase it relentlessly, knowing all the while we can never attain it. But along the way, we shall catch excellence.” - Vince Lombardi The key here is thing to take away from the tandem of these quotes is that even those you will never achieve perfection, the fact that you will aim towards unfathomable goals you will along the journey catch greatness.”

“Major improvements don't happen over night. Their are many moments inching towards improvement. The difference between those who make major improvements in their lives are the ones who embrace patience and wait through the darkness as long as it takes.”

“If you're brave enough to get through the darkness then you shall shine in the light.”
