“I live to enjoy life by the littlest things, feeling the grass between my toes, breathing fresh air, watching the wind sway the trees, enjoying the company of loved ones, a deep conversation, getting lost in a good book, going for a walk in nature, watching my kids grow up. Just the feeling itself of being alive, the absolute amazing fact that we are here right now, breathing, thinking, doing.”

“Why, Mr. Anderson?, Why, why?.
Why do you do it? Why, why get up?.
Why keep fighting?.
Do you believe you're fighting...for something?.
For more than your survival?.
Can you tell me what it is?.
Do you even know?; Is it freedom?, Or truth?.
Perhaps peace?. Could it be for love?
Illusions, Mr. Anderson.
Vagaries of perception.
Temporary constructs of a feeble human intellect trying desperately to justify an existence that is without meaning or purpose.
And all of them as artificial as the Matrix itself, although... only a human mind could invent something as insipid as love.
You must be able to see it, Mr. Anderson.
You must know it by now, You can't win.
It's pointless to keep fighting.
Why, Mr. Anderson?.
Why?, Why do you persist?.
Agent Smith ( Matrix Revolutions Movie, 2003 ).”

“I am a human being, meant to be in perpetual becoming. My goal is not to remain the same but to live in such a way that each day, year, moment, relationship, conversation , and crisis is the material I use to become a truer, more beautiful version of myself.”

“What is God's desire?
I desire first to know and experience Myself, in all My glory - to know Who I Am. Before I invented you - and all the worlds of the universe - it was impossible for Me to do so.
Second, I desire that you shall know and experience Who You Really Are, through the power I have given you to create and experience yourself in whatever way you choose.
Third, I desire for the whole life process to be an experience of constant joy, continuous creation, neverending expansion, and total fulfillment in each moment.”
― Conversations with God: An Uncommon Dialogue, Book 1

“When people accept their belief(s) as the die-hard truth, hearing a different view will always appear false (at first) because it opposes the ones they’ve already understood and accepted as their truth.”

“Do not live because of the fear of death. Live because of the fear of the death of the real reason why you live. Death is no respecter of persons. Death can come when we have not even given him our attention. Death doesn't mind that you are in tension and even when you in the mid of doing something at his arrival, you shall go with nothing. The most important thing to death is to take you at a sudden. Mind your time then! Mind your true purpose! And mind the real reasons why you wake up each day and retire when the sun sets! Life is once, live it well!”

“Achievement is living your life to the fullest. Being you as best as you can.
And the way you do that is by acting on your highest excitement.
That's it. That's your purpose in life; that's your mission; that's the highest achievement; is to be you, the true you, as fully as you can and enjoy the ride.
That's it.”
