Monday motivation quote: “This is the key to life …” – Deepak Chopra

Discussions often go around about finding ourselves, knowing who we are within so that we can unlock a fuller, more rewarding life. But what does this really mean and how do you start this journey?

To answer this, we’re sharing a quote from the American-Indian author, Deepak Chopra. Apart from being an author, he is also a new-age medicine expert.

His books and videos on the subject have led to him becoming one of the world’s best-known people in alternative medicine. His books include The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success, Quantum Healing, Perfect Health, Creating Affluence, among others.

Today’s Monday motivation quote is:

“This is the key to life: the ability to reflect, the ability to know yourself, the ability to pause for a second before reacting automatically. If you can truly know yourself, you will begin the journey of transformation.” – Deepak Chopra

This quote is so powerful because of how multidimensional it is. Through this quote, we understand why we need to take our time, to look inwards for the signs with which to live a fulfilling life.

Deepak Chopra tells us that we need to be able to reflect on our actions – on our jobs, our lives, our relationships with people, our own selves.

In addition, we should also know ourselves. We should be able to look inwards, be introspective, trust that in this world of ever-shifting values and nuances, that we know our centre so that we can feel confident and at peace in ourselves at all times.

We should also pause before reacting to things. If we are facing difficult situations, we should leave the knee jerk reactions and focus on pausing, taking stock of situations before we react.

Doing all of this will bring changes in all areas of life – from work, to personal relationships, to finding balance in ourselves and our lives.

And this is the secret to living balanced, fulfilled, happy lives. And don’t we all want to be happy after all?

So, whether you’re at work or in school or you’re a stay at home mother reading this, our Monday motivation quote is all you need to power through the week.

Follow the steps – reflect, look inward, and pause before reacting. Then sit back and watch as these steps transform your life for the better. Have a wonderful week.
