Pico Iyer on The Art of Stillness

Enlightening Talks

When you come to the edge of all that you know, you must believe one of two things: There will be ground to stand. Or you will grow wings to fly.

Life isn’t about making your day, it’s about making someone else’s.

Welcome to the present moment. Here. Now. The only moment there ever is.

Choice, not chance, determines your destiny.

If you want to awaken all of humanity, then awaken all of yourself. If you want to eliminate the suffering in the world, then eliminate all that is dark and negative in yourself. Truly, the greatest gift you have to give is that of your own self-transformation.

Wherever you are, be there. If you can be fully present now, you’ll know what it means to live.

Success is simple. Do what’s right, the right way, at the right time.

First hold peace within yourself, only then can you bring it to others.

Nothing is less productive than to make more efficient what should not be done at all.

Ability is of little account without opportunity.
