Religion [dharma] is that where there is no irreligion (adharma, immorality). Religion cannot exist where there is irreligion. There can be only one or the other. Behind every intention, there is either [the force of] religion or [the force of] irreligion.

Dada Bhagwan

To function in the original intention is to adhere to spiritual principles

Sunday Adelaja

Have intention, sacred will travel.

S. Kelley Harrell

We could scrub the floor for a tired friend, or dress a wound for a patient in a hospital, or lay the table and wash up for the family; but we shall not do it in martyr spirit or with that worse spirit of self-congratulation, of feeling that we are making ourselves more perfect, more unselfish, more positively kind.We shall do it just for one thing, that our hands make Christ's hands in our life, that our service may let Christ serve through us, that our patience may bring Christ's patience back to the world.

Caryll Houselander

Time stood still so she learnt to alter her focus.

Nikki Rowe

In a condition of struggle and of failure we must be able to say "I must try harder" or "I must try differently." Both views are essential . . . A change in either makes for a change in outcome. When we say "I must try harder" we mean that the most relevant variable is something within us - intention, will, determination, "meaning it" . . When we say "I must try differently" we mean that the most relevant variable lies in the situation within which intention is being exerted, that we should look to the environment, to the ways it pushes and pulls at us, and in this study find the means to alter that interaction.

Allen Wheelis

To experience what isn't, love what is.

Eric Micha'el Leventhal

Drifting with things is a habit it takes almost dying to break.

Marge Piercy

With a clear intention and a willing spirit, sooner or later we experience the joy and freedom that arises when we recognize our common humanity with others and see that real love excludes no one.

Sharon Salzberg

Dare to dream! If you did not have the capability to make your wildest wishes come true, your mind would not have the capacity to conjure such ideas in the first place. There is no limitation on what you can potentially achieve, except for the limitation you choose to impose on your own imagination. What you believe to be possible will always come to pass - to the extent that you deem it possible. It really is as simple as that.

Anthon St. Maarten

Never surrender your hopes and dreams to the fateful limitations others have placed on their own lives. The vision of your true destiny does not reside within the blinkered outlook of the naysayers and the doom prophets. Judge not by their words, but accept advice based on the evidence of actual results. Do not be surprised should you find a complete absence of anything mystical or miraculous in the manifested reality of those who are so eager to advise you. Friends and family who suffer the lack of abundance, joy, love, fulfillment and prosperity in their own lives really have no business imposing their self-limiting beliefs on your reality experience.

Anthon St. Maarten

People ask you questions so you can reveal to them God’s intention

Sunday Adelaja

Never judge someone's character based on the words of another. Instead, study the motives behind the words of the person casting the bad judgment.

Suzy Kassem

Setting the intention to practice kindness toward one’s partner or family members or friends does not preclude getting angry or upset.

Sharon Salzberg

Today is sacred - for it will never come again. What could be more important than living this day with attention and the intention to be of benefit, to the best of your ability, to all you encounter?

John Bruna

God has specific plans and intentions for every man

Sunday Adelaja

If I’m perplexed by the fact that I’m constantly lost, maybe somewhere in my head I’ve determined that being lost serves a greater purpose than being found.

Craig D. Lounsbrough

Have we ever thought that being lost is our destination?

Craig D. Lounsbrough

Running’ is driven by panic. ‘Destination’ is driven by thought. And while it’s terribly painful to admit, incessantly pretending that I do the latter doesn’t replace the fact that I’m constantly doing the former.

Craig D. Lounsbrough

Why escape your intended purpose by copying and trying to be someone else? You will discover who you were meant to be only after you have shown confidence being yourself.

Suzy Kassem

Man doeth this and doeth that from the good or evil of his heart; but he knows not to what end his sense doth prompt him; for when he strikes he is blind to where the blow shall fall, nor can he count the airy threads that weave the web of circumstance. Good and evil, love and hate, night and day, sweet and bitter, man and woman, heaven above and the earth beneath--all those things are needful, one to the other, and who knows the end of each?

H. Rider Haggard

When we set an intention to explore our emotional hot spots, we create a pathway to real love.

Sharon Salzberg

Take action! An inch of movement will bring you closer to your goals than a mile of intention.

Steve Maraboli

Some say if you want success surround yourself with successful people. I say if you want true and lasting success surround yourself with people of integrity.

Charles F. Glassman

When your intentions are pure, so too will be your success.

Charles F. Glassman

Powerful words come with powerful intent. Where you have passion, strength, courage, and determination you can accomplish anything!

K.L. Toth

Success doesn't come to you you go to it.

T. Scott McLeod

I am no scientist. I explore the neighbourhood. An infant who has just learned to hold his head up has a frank and forthright way of gazing about him in bewilderment. He hasn't the faintest clue where he is, and he aims to learn. In a couple of years, what he will have learned instead is how to fake it: he'll have the cocksure air of a squatter who has come to feel he owns the place. Some unwonted, taught pride diverts us from our original intent, which is to explore the neighbourhood, view the landscape, to discover at least WHERE it is that we have been so startlingly set down, if we can't learn why.

Annie Dillard

A wrong choice thwarts God’s original intention

Sunday Adelaja

Unity is the intentional inclination to corporately control our destination. In other words, achieving the dream takes a team!

DeWayne Owens

We are all gardeners, planting seeds of intention and watering them with attention in every moment of every day.

Cristen Rodgers

Part-time effort means part-tim results.

Tony Curl

Nothing can squelch your fire except turning your back on the thing that fuels it.

Richelle E. Goodrich

The best way to insure you achieve the greatest satisfaction out of life is to behave intentionally.

Deborah Day

The way I see it, our natural human instinct is to fight or flee that which we perceive to be dangerous. Although this mechanism evolved to protect us, it serves as the single greatest limiting process to our growth. To put this process in perspective and not let it rule my life, Iexpect the unexpected;make the unfamiliar familiar;make the unknown known;make the uncomfortable comfortable;believe the unbelievable.

Charles F. Glassman

Believing in negative thoughts is the single greatest obstruction to success.

Charles F. Glassman

Before you find your soul mate, you must first discover your soul.

Charles F. Glassman

People as a rule do mean much more than they understand.

Glenway Wescott

It is only those that live intentionally that can accomplish and come to the significance meant for them.

Sunday Adelaja

If therefore my work is negative, irreligious, atheistic, let it be remembered that atheism — at least in the sense of this work — is the secret of religion itself; that religion itself, not indeed on the surface, but fundamentally, not in intention or according to its own supposition, but in its heart, in its essence, believes in nothing else than the truth and divinity of human nature.

Ludwig Feuerbach

There are two missions we are obligated to carry out during our life journey. The first, is to seek Truth throughout our lifetime. The second, is simply to be good. Engrave it in your mind that life is just one big board game where you have to make it from start to finish by being good. That is all you have to do. The hardest part, is dealing with all the obstacles that prevent smooth sailing. The trick is, to always strive to be the right person in all situations – regardless of personal cost to you. Your aim is to make sure the right book on your shoulder weighs more that the bad book on the left. The scales are real. Regardless of your chosen faith, there is a measurement system to be found in all of the world's religions. After all, does it make sense for all souls, good or bad, to end up in the same place? Of course not. To really secure the very best setting in the afterlife, the vibrations of your good deeds must surpass your death.

Suzy Kassem

Logic in all its infinite potential, is the most dangerous of vices. For one can always find some form of logic to justify his action, and rest comfortably in the assurance, that what he did abides by reason. That is why, for us brittle beings, Intention is the only true weapon of peace.

Ilyas Kassam

It is more Important to be of pure intention than of perfect action.

Ilyas Kassam

Such a simple concept, yet so true: that which we manifest is before us; we are the creators of our own destiny. Be it through intention or ignorance, our successes and our failures have been brought on by none other than ourselves.
