We’re attracted to people in whom we find traits that we want or desire in our own selves. And we are repelled by people in whom we find traits that we’re denying in ourselves.

Your body is directly influenced as these molecules course through the bloodstream, delivering the energetic effect of whatever your brain is thinking and feeling.” ~ Deepak Chopra

- “Each of us plays four roles in relation to the brain. We lead, we inspire, we invent, and we use it. Most people do not actively use their brains. They passively let their feelings and thoughts control their lives. They don’t invent new ways to use their brains, either, settling instead for the same routine and repetitive thoughts every day. But if you master all four roles, you create your super brain. When you are the active observer of your feelings and thoughts, you become the user of your brain. Your super brain then serves you, not vice versa.” ~ Deepak Chopra

You can wish for things in the future to be different, but in this moment you have to accept things as they are.” ~ Deepak Chopra

So, your body is constantly converting your experiences into molecules.” ~ Deepak Chopra
