What attracts and builds your success without any time, energy, or effort? Your reputation does that.

[David Hawkins @DrHawkinsDaily]

Decide on the quality that you intend to serve in others, and be aware that what you serve in others is exactly what you will bring out in yourself.

[David Hawkins @DrHawkinsDaily]

Whatever the ego decides it wants—more money, more sex, more attention—that is “success” to it. It wants more and is afraid of having less.

[David Hawkins @DrHawkinsDaily]

To take responsibility for one’s own actions and their consequences is, in itself, extremely powerful and almost instantly raises one’s calibrated level of consciousness to over 200.

God Is Freedom, Joy, Home, and Source

[David Hawkins @DrHawkinsDaily]

There is no point in trying to save the world, because the world one sees does not even exist.

[David Hawkins @DrHawkinsDaily]

Look at life not as a place to acquire gain but as an opportunity for learning, which abounds even in the smallest of life’s details. The primary spiritual quality is really one of overall attitude.

[David Hawkins @DrHawkinsDaily]

Intense prayer augments dedication and inspiration and facilitates progress.

[David Hawkins @DrHawkinsDaily]

Thoughts have a certain electromagnetic energy form. When we sit in the presence of people who have solved the life problems that we are confronting, their inner accomplishment influences us nonverbally so that our lower-level energy is replaced by a higher thought form.

[David Hawkins @DrHawkinsDaily]

Thus every problem is eliminated by changing the perspective—that is, shifting to a higher level of consciousness. We do not have to fix problems; we evolve beyond them.

[David Hawkins @DrHawkinsDaily]

Unconditional Love is not an emotional up-and-down feeling that depends on someone else and what they do or don’t do.

[David Hawkins @DrHawkinsDaily]

Therefore, there is only one way to increase our health, happiness, or success, and that is to increase our level of consciousness.

[David Hawkins @DrHawkinsDaily]

Every act of kindness is noticed by the universe and is preserved forever. When seen for what it is, gratitude replaces spiritual ambition.

[David Hawkins @DrHawkinsDaily]

The more we let go, the more loving we become. More and more of our lives will be spent doing things that we love to do, with people for whom we feel increasing love. As this happens, our lives become transformed. Love is the most powerful of the emotional energy vibrations.

[David Hawkins @DrHawkinsDaily]

A benign view of yourself is an important step, as it affirms the truth that you are doing the best you can. In fact, every human from moment to moment is always doing the best they can.

[David Hawkins @DrHawkinsDaily]

“It seemed like a good idea at the time” is maybe the most useful of all quotes to revise whatever the past behavior is.

[David Hawkins @DrHawkinsDaily]

For example, one individual at the level of Love (500) counterbalances 750,000 individuals below 200. The significance of each person’s inner evolution, then, becomes obvious.

[David Hawkins @DrHawkinsDaily]

Choose a benign role and view of life. Harsh viewpoints are not conducive to spiritual growth. Even if they are “right” or “justified,” a spiritual seeker cannot afford them.

[David Hawkins @DrHawkinsDaily]

The individual human mind is like a computer terminal connected to a giant database. The database is human consciousness itself, of which our own consciousness is merely an individual expression but with its roots in the common consciousness of all humankind.

[David Hawkins @DrHawkinsDaily]

Seek to give love rather than to receive it.
