Here are some inspirational quotes by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:
"Success is not something that you achieve one day. Success is woven throughout life. For me, every day you spend happily is a successful day. The days you have an undying smile on your face – you can declare it as a successful day. The day you have full confidence – total confidence – you are not scared of anything – that day you are successful. "
"You cannot get success with effort alone. Along with effort, you need faith and devotion. If you have faith and devotion together then you will get success. Also, it is not that if you only have devotion, you will get success. You need devotion and effort; a combination of both is required."
"You are in a transit lounge. Everything in this life is temporary. Everything is ephemeral here."
"Shortcut to success will cut short your success."
"There is no control over the fruit of action. Every failure is a stepping stone towards success."
"Money cannot buy you happiness. It’s knowledge or wisdom that brings you happiness."
"Your parents, your friends are much more than money. You yourself are more valuable than money."
"Don’t equate good fortune with money. Your good fortune lies in your happiness."
“Invoke the valor in you. Just say,’ Okay, whatever comes, I am going to take it as a challenge.’ When you invoke this energy, fear vanishes.”
“ A pure mind and an honest heart have nothing to fear.”
