Nobody can give you wiser advice than yourself.

When it comes to the areas of your life that matter most — your family, your faith, your health, your finances — you can’t rely on anybody else to tell you what to do. It’s great to get coaching from experts in the field, but you can’t outsource the final decision. You can’t give another person control over your destiny, no matter how sincere or skilled he or she may be.

Look inside yourself for the answers - you're the only one who knows what's best for you. Everybody else is only guessing.

You cannot choose a Guru. Deepen your longing and the Guru will choose you,

You really can't follow a guru. You can't ask somebody to give The Reason, but you can find one for yourself; you decide what the meaning of your life is to be. People talk about the meaning of life; there is no meaning of life — there are lots of meanings of different lives, and you must decide what you want your own to be.

When you need advice, make sure you choose your advisor wisely.

Your real guidance is YOU. Your heart knows what needs to be done and your mind is capable enough to figure out ‘how.

If your best friend were to ask how she could live a better life, you would probably find many useful things to say, and yet you might not live that way yourself. On one level, wisdom is nothing more profound than an ability to follow one’s own advice.

Many self-help gurus teach you new forms of denial and pump you up with exercises that feel good in the short term, while ignoring the underlying issue. Remember, nobody who is actually happy has to stand in front of a mirror and tell himself that he’s happy.

The best advice I've ever received is, 'No one else knows what they're doing either.

Anything that is secret and mysterious in these systems of Yoga should be at once rejected. The best guide in life is strength. In religion, as in all other matters, discard everything that weakens you, have nothing to do with it.

Don't take my advice. Or anyone's advice. Trust yourself. For good or for bad, happy or unhappy, it's your life, and what you do with it has always been entirely up to you.

nobody but yourself can tell you what to accept and what to reject.

Death is the only wise advisor that we have. Whenever you feel, as you always do, that everything is going wrong and you're about to be annihilated, turn to your death and ask if that is so. Your death will tell you that you're wrong; that nothing really matters outside its touch. Your death will tell you, 'I haven't touched you yet.
