Each week, Deepak Chopra responds to Oprah.com users’ questions with enlightening advice to help them live their best lives.
Q: I am so grateful for your teachings. I have been meditating with positive affirmations, and I feel I have been getting some good results. I recently saw you on television explaining three stages to positive thinking. You mentioned it isn’t. Published at Oprah.com
I am beneath or above no one. When I am independent of the good or bad opinion of others, I stand strong in my own divine power. -Deepak Chopra
Why fight for something that only you hold as dear as you do. Only when a relationship is equally important to both parties, should it be worth fighting for. God knows I tried my best but my best was not enough. Inside I’m dying. It’s been nearly a year and I feel I’m sinking more and more each day with broken heart, broken dreams. I’m 28 years old and just beyond lost. I planned married, having my first child at this age. I’m all alone now. Could you please provide me with your views?
I approach life with full awareness and an open heart. When I’m attentive and open to life, I allow for new understanding in every moment. -Deepak Chopra
I`m 46 years old and try to follow a conscious, spiritual path since my youth. There are different ways and different traditions and I was able to find my way according to my heart. Nevertheless there is one question I couldn’t find a satisfying answer till now. Teachers say for real happiness you need to be without wishes to realize deepest fulfillment and enlightenment, other teachers say for real happiness learn to fulfill the wishes of your heart and to trust the richness of life. I feel wisdom in both opinions and feel attracted by both ways, but I cannot connect them…What is your opinion? Thank you!
