Don Miguel Ángel Ruiz (born August 27, 1952), better known as Don Miguel Ruiz, is a Mexican author of Toltec spiritualist and neoshamanistic texts.
I can say, 'Well, I'm a male. I'm a male human. I'm a medical doctor. I'm an author. . . ' If I go to a religious point of view, I will say, 'I am a soul. I am a spirit. ' If I go into science, I will say, 'I am energy. I am light. ' But the truth is I have no idea what I am.
All of humanity is searching for truth, justice, and beauty.
Life is not the body; it is not the mind; it is not the soul. It is a force.
Find yourself and express yourself in your own particular way. Express your love openly.
If you live in a past dream, you don't enjoy what is happening right now because you will always wish it to be different than it is. There is no time to miss anyone or anything because you are alive. Not enjoying what is happening right now is living in the past and being only half alive. This leads to self pity, suffering and tears.
Today is the most wonderful day of your life. This moment represents eternity. It is the moment when you return to love by deciding to live in communion with our Creator.
God, the supreme artist, uses our life for the creation of art. We are the instruments through which the force of life expresses itself.
We only see what we want to see; we only hear what we want to hear. Our belief system is just like a mirror that only shows us what we believe.
Let everything we do and say be an expression of the beauty in our heart, always based on love
The whole world can gossip about you, and if you don't take it personally you are immune.
When you feel good, everything around you is good, when everything around you is great, everything makes you happy. You are loving everything that is around you, because you are loving yourself. Because you like the way you are. Because you are happy with your life. You are happy with the movie that you are producing, happy with your agreements with life. You are at peace, and you are happy. You live in that state of bliss where everything is so wonderful, and everything is so beautiful. In that state of bliss you are making love all the time with everything that you perceive.
When you love, whatever you do is because you want to do it. It becomes a pleasure, it's like a game, and you have fun with it. When you love, you don't expect something to happen; whatever happens is okay, and hardly anything disappoints you.
All humans are storytellers with their own unique point of view. When we understand this, we no longer feel the need to impose our story on others or to defend what we believe. Instead we see all of us as artists with the right to create our own art.
You express your own divinity by being alive and by loving yourself and others.
To have great faith is to have great power, because your intent, your will, is undivided. When your word isn't dissipated by doubt, the power of your word becomes even stronger.
Every human is an artist. And this is the main art that we have: the creation of our story.
Every human is an artist. The dream of your life is to make beautiful art.
You are alive, so take your life and enjoy it. You were born with the right to be happy, to love, and to share your love. Just to be-to take a risk and enjoy your life-is all that matters.
We search for everything we believe we don't have, not knowing that everything we are looking for is already inside us. We are born with it.
Respect is one of the greatest expressions of Love. If other people try to write your story, it means they don't respect you. They consider that you're not a good artist who can write your own story, even though you were born to write your own story.
