Pico Iyer on The Art of Stillness

Enlightening Talks

Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one.

To be upset over what you don’t have is to waste what you do have.

Always listen to experts. They’ll tell you what can’t be done, and why. Then do it.

Find a place inside where there’s joy, and the joy will out burn the pain.

You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere. You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.

Life is infinitely stranger than anything which the mind of man could invent.

Choice, not chance, determines your destiny.

There is no value in life except what you choose to place upon it, and no happiness in any place except what you bring to it yourself.

Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.

As for the future, your task is not to foresee it, but to enable it.
