More From Miguel Angel Ruiz

To be beautiful means to be yourself.you don't need to be accepted by others. you need to accept yourself. when you are born a lotus flower, be a beautiful lotus flower, don't try to be a magnolia flower. if you crave acceptance and recognition and try to change yourself to fit what other people want you to be, you will suffer all your life. true happiness and true power lie in understanding yourself, accepting yourself, having confidence in yourself.
Beautiful Being Yourself Lying
Wherever you go you will find people lying to you, and as your awareness grows, you will notice that you also lie to yourself. do not expect people to tell you the truth because they also lie to themselves. you have to trust yourself and choose to believe or not to believe what someone says to you.
Lying Believe People
But the worst enemy you can meet will always be yourself; you lie in wait for yourself in caverns and forests. lonely one, you are going the way to yourself! and your way goes past yourself, and past your seven devils! you will be a heretic to yourself and witch and soothsayer and fool and doubter and unholy one and villain. you must be ready to burn yourself in your own flame: how could you become new, if you had not first become ashes?
Being Yourself Lonely Lying
Above all, avoid lies, all lies, especially the lie to yourself. keep watch on your own lie and examine it every hour, every minute. and avoid contempt, both of others and of yourself: what seems bad to you in yourself is purified by the very fact that you have noticed it in yourself. and avoid fear, though fear is simply the consequence of every lie. never be frightened at your own faintheartedness in attaining love, and meanwhile do not even be very frightened by your own bad acts.
Lying Watches Deceit
(about love)the most important thing in life, and you can't tell whether people have it or not. surely this is wrong? surely people who are happy should look happy, at all times, no matter how much money they have or how uncomfortable their shoes are or how little their child is sleeping; and people who are doing ok but have still not found their soul-mate should look, i don't know, anxious, like billy crystal in when harry met sally; and people who are desperate should wear something, a yellow ribbon maybe, which would allow them to be identified by similar desperate people.
Children Sleep Things In Life
A guy's calling to say he's failing algebra ii. just as a point of practice, i say, kill yourself. a woman calls and says her kids won't behave. without missing a beat, i tell her, kill yourself. a man calls to say his car won't start. kill yourself. a woman calls to ask what time the late movie starts. kill yourself. she asks, "isn't this 555-1327? is this the moorehouse cineplex? i say, kill yourself. kill yourself. kill yourself.

I'm not judging the films. people make these connections through a film, or because they know them. but the fact that they erase them and have to start from scratch, i think that's an important point. a lot of kids, when they have a camera, have tended to do remakes of existing films. you have a lot of kids that make star wars. and i think that's creativity, but not as much creativity as starting from scratch.

She was probably the girl i loved the most of all my girlfriends, but also the toughest one to make things work out with. if i had put that much effort into any of my other relationships, i'd be married with five kids now.

I love the fact that there are also women out there that don't have a choice and they must go to work and they still have to raise the kids. thank goodness that we value those people too.
