Humans have a need to explain and justify everything; we have a need for knowledge, and we make assumptions to fulfill our need to know.

I am grateful for the 30 years of my work and the way it has influenced humanity, especially all the books that became international bestsellers and were translated into 37 different languages, which means they have gone all around the world.

I am here and I’m alive. That’s enough.

Don Miguel Ruiz

I am made of light; I am made of stars.

Don Miguel Ruiz

I don’t take anything personally. I am a secondary character in other people’s stories. I know that whatever people say about me is just a projection of their image of me. It has nothing to do with me.

Don Miguel Ruiz

I respect you when I don’t try to tell you how to live your life, how to dress, how to walk, how to talk, how to do whatever you do in your kingdom.

Don Miguel Ruiz

I will no longer allow anyone to manipulate my mind and control my life in the name of love.

Don Miguel Ruiz

If someone abuses you a little less than you abuse yourself, you will probably stay in the relationship and tolerate it endlessly.

Don Miguel Ruiz

If you dishonor an agreement, learn from the experience and do your best next time. It is an act of grace to forgive. It is an act of love to offer yourself another chance.

Don Miguel Ruiz

if you take action just for the sake of doing it, without expecting a reward, you will find that you enjoy every action you do. Rewards will come, but you are not attached to the reward.
