Bliss-Girls

A book by Deepak Chopra

I have really enjoyed reading this book. It’s a masterpiece and must read of all of us juggling in material world. Go on and read my favourite lines from this wonderful book.

1. Success in life could be defined as the continued expansion of happiness and progressive realisation of worth goals.
2. But success also includes good health, energy and enthusiasm for life, fulfilling relationships, creative freedom, emotional and psychological stability, a sense of well-being, and peace of mind.
3. Our thinking and behaviour are always in anticipation of a response. It is therefore fear-based.
4. The ego is your self-image; it is your social mask; it is the role you are playing. Your social mask thrives on approval.It wants to control, and it is sustained by power, because it lives in fear.
5. In self-referral, you experience your true being, which is unfearful of any challenge, has respect for all people, and feels beneath no one. Self-power is therefore true power.
6. Practising silence periodically as it is convenient to you is one way to experience the Law of Pure Potentiality.
7. Non-judgement creates silence in your mind.
8. Franz Kafka, the Austrian philosopher and poet, once said, “You need not leave your room. Remain sitting at your table and listen. You need not even listen, simply wait. You need not even wait, just learn to become quite, and still, and solitary. The world will freely offer itself to you to be unmasked. It has no choice; it will roll in ecstasy at your feet”.
9. The more tuned in you are to the mind of nature, the more you have access to its infinite, unbound creativity.
10. And in our willingness to give that which we seek, we keep the abundance of the universe circulating in our lives.
11. The easiest way to get what you want is to help others get what they want.If you want to be blessed with all good things in life, learn to silently bless everyone with all the good things in life.
12. The most powerful form of giving are not material. The gifts of caring, attention, affection, appreciation, and love are some of the most precious gifts you can give, and they don’t cost you anything.
13. When you make any choice – any choice at all – you can ask yourself two things: First of all, “What are the consequences of this choice that I’m making?” In your heart you will immediately know what these are. Secondly, “Will this choice that I’m making now bring happiness to me and to those around me?” If the answer is yes, then go ahead with that choice. If the answer is no, if that choice brings distress either to you or to those around you, then don’t make that choice.
14. You accept things as they are, not as you wish they were in this moment. You can wish for the things in the future to be different, but in this moment, you have to accept things as they are.
15. When you feel frustrated or upset by a person or a situation, remember that you are not reacting to the person or the situation, but to your feelings about the person or the situation. These are your feelings, and your feelings are not someone else’s fault.
16. All problems contain the seeds of opportunity, and this awareness allows you to take the moment and transform it to a better situation or thing.
17. You don’t want to stand rigid like a tall oak that cracks and collapses in the storm. Instead, you want to be flexible, like a reed that bends with the storm and survives.
18. The past is history, the future is mystery, and this moment is a gift. That is why this moment is called ‘the present’.
19. Attention energises, and intention transforms. Whatever you put your attention on will grow stronger in your life.
20. In the scheme of nature, everything correlates and connects with everything else.
21. You have a unique talent that no one else has, and you have a special way of expressing that talent, and no one else has it.
22. When you’re expressing that one unique talent that you possess – or more than one unique talent in many cases – the expression of that talent takes you into timeless awareness.
23. Life is eternal. But the expressions of life are ephemeral, momentary, transient.
24. If we share with caring, lightheartedness, and love, we will create abundance and joy for each other.

Finally the Seven Laws:

1. The law of pure potentiality
2. The law of giving
3. The law of karma or cause and effect
4. The law of least effort
5. The law of intention and desire
6. The law of detachment
7. The law or dharma or purpose in life
