Instant Karma

My roommate bought me this book Instant Karma awhile ago, and I just found it again on my bookshelf. Here are some of the little advice/sayings that I liked and highlighted:

  • Imagine living your life without being afraid to take risk
  • Become more peaceful with where you are in life
  • Have control over your thoughts to have control over your speech
  • Only here and now can you truly love -- the past is a memory, the future is a fantasy
  • Recognize and value your mistakes
  • Be comfortable with your body -- you will exude confidence and beauty
  • Be true to yourself
  • Your worst enemy cannot harm you as much as your own thoughts
  • Your experience is what you do with what happens to you
  • Acknowledge your weakness
  • Live each day for itself
  • Mend your broken heart
  • When you like someone tell them
  • Don't try to plan every minute of your day.
  • Let yourself feel things
  • Sometimes not getting what you want is the best thing for you
  • Let go of past sorrows as well as anxieties about the future
  • Look for contentment from within
  • Appreciate the silence of close friendship
  • Master your past in the present or the past will master your future
  • Love someone for who and what they are, without conditions
  • Open yourself to feelings instead of pushing them away
  • In silence, start to hear you own true voice
  • Look at your life like a creative process
  • Take time to dream
  • Surrender to the now
  • Know that every moment is unrepeatable and scared
  • Nothing can bring you peace but yourself
  • You create your reality with your thoughts and intentions
  • Stop rushing around, sit quietly, switch off the world, and come back to the earth
  • Accept yourself as you are, right now
  • Stop searching for happiness in someone else
  • Love can only exist in the present moment
  • Have a reputation for spunk
  • Be happy with what you have while working for what you want
  • Strive most to understand what you fear most
  • Take responsibility for what you do

Its nice to flip through this book every now and then.
