Quotes by Brian Weiss
Brian Weiss's insights on:
What is the biggest thing that stops people from living their lives in the present moment? Fear – and we must learn how to overcome fear.
Worrying is worthless. When you stop focusing on what has already happened and what may never happen, then you’ll be in the present moment. Then you’ll begin to experience joy in life.
You need your ego to survive in the three-dimensional world, but you need only that part of the ego which processes information. The rest – pride, arrogance, defensiveness, fear – is worse than useless. The rest of the ego separates you from wisdom, joy, and God.
A life with difficult relationships, filled with obstacles and losses, presents the most opportunity for the soul’s growth.
