1. You need to love and accept yourself unconditionally. 자신을 사랑하고 무조건 받아 들여라 Unconditional self-love gives you the courage to go after your dreams, because you've got insurance -- you know that no matter what the outcome, you love yourself deeply.

 

2. The busier life gets, the more you need stillness. 바쁠수록 쉬어가라 Slow down. Take a deep breath. Spend one minute doing nothing. Meditate. Tap into your inner stillness and it will bring a sense of peace, calm and flow to everything you do.

 

3. Everyone is fighting their own battle. 모두가 다른 삶이다 Judging or criticizing others is a waste of energy. Show understanding for their point of view, compassion for their situation, acceptance of who they are and above all, love.

 

4. The world is a reflection of your dominant thoughts. 세상은 생각하기 나름이다 If you believe the world is a hostile place, it will be. If you believe the world is a friendly, loving and abundant place, it will be.

 

5. Start before you feel ready. 꾸물거리지 말라 Don't wait for the perfect moment -- you have to jump and build your parachute on the way down. As the Zen proverb goes, "Leap and the net will appear."

 

6. Your capacity to love is unlimited. 사랑은 무한자산이다Love is like a flame. You can light one person's candle, or you can light 100 -- your flame will continue to burn brightly. And the world looks more beautiful the more candles you help to light up.

 

7. Life is overflowing with beauty and blessings. 삶은 아름다움과 축복으로 넘친다 Unfortunately we too often fail to see them, distracted by our circling thoughts or preoccupied with what we don't have (instead of what we do).

 

8. Success does not bring happiness, happiness brings success. 성공은 행복을 동반하지 않지만 행복은 성공을 동반한다 Decide to be happy now, and everything you desire will become easier to obtain.

 

9. Make time for your friends and loved ones. 친구를 만들고 우정을 쌓아라 When life is busy, keeping in touch is often one of the first things we give up on. Yet as Buddha once said, friendships are not half, but all of the spiritual life.

 

10. We are all pieces of the one Universe. 세상은 너나 없는 하나의 공동체이다 I am you, you are me, we are the ocean, we are the sky, the birds and the moon. It's all made of the same energy. We should stop seeing ourselves as separate.

 

11. Enjoy the journey because the journey is all there is. 매순간을 즐겨라 While it's important to have dreams, the present moment is the only moment we can truly experience. So fully embrace and enjoy living today while you're working towards your goals.

 

12. Your intention is what matters most. 당신의 생각이 가장 소중하다 A heartfelt note or flower is worth more than a million dollar gift given without any thought, love or best wishes.

 

13. The more you give thanks, the more good things flow to you. 감사하면 더 많은 감사할 일이 따른다. Gratitude is like a magnet for positive energy, serendipity and abundance. By giving thanks you are affirming the presence of good things in your life and signaling to the Universe you are ready for more.

 

14. You are inherently worthwhile. 당신은 타고난 보물이다 Your worth is not dependent on whether you have a career, partner, beautiful figure or home. You are a child of the Universe and your soul is inherently valuable.

 

15. Fear is the one-sided fence. 걱정은 편향된 울타리이다 If you have the courage to get through the situation you fear, you will look back and realize there was nothing to be afraid of -- it was all an illusion.

 

16. You need to replenish your soul. 가끔은 쉬어가라Take time to simply be. Lay in the grass. Watch the clouds move across the sky. Read a book. Play in the waves at the beach.

 

17. Most worrying is a waste of energy. 지나친 걱정은 에너지 낭비다 When you worry about what might go wrong, you're creating your own personal hell in an otherwise peaceful and beautiful present moment.

 

18. When you want something, the Universe conspires on your behalf. 갈망하면 하늘에서 성사시켜 준다 Intentions and desires are powerful. Tell the Universe you're ready, act as if the thing you want is already yours, and the Universe will arrange people, circumstances and opportunities to bring it to you.

 

19. Be wary of projecting your past onto your present. 앞만을 보고 나아가라 We react to things today because of our beliefs from our past experiences, including childhood. Forgive your past, and open yourself up to what is really happening today.

 

20. Most people are capable of far greater things than they realize. 우리의 잠재가치는 생각보다 더 크다 We imprison ourselves with our self-limiting beliefs. Remember you are an infinite being for whom all things are possible.

 

21. So much can happen in a day. 하루에 새역사를 쓴다 Wake up every morning excited about what might happen today. No two days are the same and life can change dramatically in a single moment.

 

22. When you follow your heart, life is effortless. 영혼을 따르면 삶은 그만큼 쉬어진다 When you live in alignment with your soul, everything feels easy. The right ideas and solutions come to you and everything flows.

 

23. Deep breathing is underrated. 심호흡은 아주 좋다 Take a few deep breaths in the morning, and every time you feel flustered or consumed by negative emotions throughout the day.

 

24. Comparison is the death of joy. 상대비교는 즐거움을 없앤다 Life would be pretty dull if every restaurant was the same, every summer was the same, every partner was the same. Enjoy things for what they are, not what they're not.

 

25. Happiness is a choice. 행복은 선택이다 Your happiness is within your control. Understand this and it will transform your life.
