Greg Anderson Quotes

When we are motivated by goals that have deep meaning, by dreams that need completion, by pure love that needs expressing, then we truly live life.

Focus on the journey not the destination. Joy is found not in finishing an activity but in doing it.

Living a life of integrity is one of the greatest missions we can undertake.

Focus on the journey, not the destination.

Let us be about setting high standards for life, love, creativity, and wisdom. If our expectations in these areas are low, we are not likely to experience wellness. Setting high standards makes every day and every decade worth looking forward to.

Only one thing has to change for us to know happiness in our lives: where we focus our attention.

Asking questions gives you significant power.

Only one thing has to change for us to know happiness in our lives. Where we focus our attention.

Medicine, academia, politics, social philosophy, capitalism, even religion all consistently miss the mark. If we base our lives on their precepts, we, too, will miss the mark of our highest calling. The greatest pursuit is not good health, unsurpassed wisdom, economic surplus, political freedom, or even faith that can move mountains. Unconditional, nonjudgmental loving. This is our aim, life's single highest and most rewarding pursuit.

The most interesting answer is not just that we can’t stop tornadoes but that we shouldn’t. This was the answer I got from Greg Carbin, one of the wind geniuses at the Storm Prediction Center in Norman. “Why can’t we stop tornadoes?” I asked. “Well, what is the purpose of a tornado?” he responded. It had never occurred to me that a storm had anything as grand as a purpose. Consider a hurricane, Carbin said. It acts as a kind of air conditioner for the planet, pushing excess heat from the equator off toward the poles. Similarly, he said, a tornado releases pent-up instability. “In the process of that turning,” Carbin told me, “there’s something that the atmosphere is releasing, or relaxing. So if you could eliminate tornadoes, what does that mean? How does the atmosphere react to the fact that you’ve now suppressed this natural phenomenon? It’s going to manifest itself in some other way.

—Me llamo Greg... —Te llamas Elton John —dijo Aline, anotándolo. —No —insistió el licántropo—. Me llamo Greg. Greg Anderson. —Elton John —repitió Aline, cogiendo un sello—. Tienes treinta y seis años y eres un limpiachimeneas que vive en Bel Air. —Selló el papel con tinta roja: INSCRITO, y se lo devolvió. El licántropo cogió el papel, confuso. —¿Qué estás haciendo? —Esto significa que la Clave no podrá encontrarte —explicó Tavvy, que estaba bajo la mesa, jugando con un coche de juguete—. Pero que estás inscrito en el Registro. —Técnicamente —dijo Helen, esperando que él aceptara la triquiñuela. Si no lo hacía, tendrían problemas con el resto. Greg miró otra vez el papel. —Es solo mi opinión —dijo—, pero el tipo que viene detrás de mí se parece a Humphrey Bogart. —¡Pues Humphrey será! —exclamó Aline, agitando el sello—. ¿Quieres ser Humphrey Bogart? —le preguntó al siguiente subterráneo, un brujo alto y delgado con cara triste y orejas de caniche. —¿Y quién no? —repuso el brujo. La mayoría de los subterráneos se mostraban inquietos mientras avanzaba la cola, pero cooperativos. Hubo incluso algunas sonrisas y agradecimientos. Parecieron entender que Aline y Helen estaban tratando de socavar el sistema, aunque no el porqué. De pronto Aline señaló a un hada alta y rubia, con un vestido de bambula. —Esa es Taylor Swift.

The Law of Unconditional Loving is a tough taskmaster. Once we taste the fruits of unconditional loving, we cannot go backward, we cannot become "unaware" ever again.

Joy is found not in finishing an activity but in doing it.

universally links spiritual perfection and clinical cures. Those who make such claims are misguided. Rather, love transforms suffering — a crucial distinction. That transformation may include a clinical cure; it may not. Cure is not the standard for judging. For even the process of death is transformed by unconditional loving. We can leave the world filled with joyful memories, an example of how to love. That’s healing of the highest order. Arid death cannot be counted, then, as failure.

And I commend to you the simple practice of extending unconditional love to another person at least once a day, every day, for the rest of your life. You’ll heal your world in delightful and surprising ways. Yet it is important to understand that love’s power can be trivialized. “Love heals” has been a popular notion for centuries. It has enjoyed a recent resurgence that has had an unfortunate side effect. Many people who do not get well, in the sense of a clinical cure, are made to feel guilty that they were not able to care enough or demonstrate ample enough compassion to effect healing. For them, love does not heal. Love is a cruel master. This “guilt-tripping,” this illusion that we have total control, misses the point entirely. It damages the individual and it relegates unconditional loving to a technique, a modality in health and healing. Love is much more than a prescription. There is no formula that

Wellness is the complete integration of body, mind, and spirit – the realization that everything we do, think, feel, and believe has an effect on our state of well-being.” – Greg Anderson

I will become aware of my thoughts, I will exercise my power to choose my thoughts, and I will choose thoughts that bring happiness and contentment.

Purpose. Your life’s mission. Your reason for existing. This law asks us to consider our great aim — the work we have been brought
