"When you look into the mirror each morning, do you apply your makeup or shaving cream to your reflection in the glass? Ha! Of course not; you'd be locked up. Instead, you go to the source of the reflection. So then, when it comes to living life of your derams, the same philosophy should apply. Why try to manipulate the illusions of time and space when you can go to their source, the inner world of your own thoughts, beliefs, and expectations, where the real work is done anyway." (Mike Dooley, Notes from the Universe, p.54).

"Know what's missing from most people's lives? The realization that nothing is missing from their lives." (Mike Dooley, Notes from the Universe, p53)

"If you only knew, just how incredily wel everything is going to turn out, for you and those close to you, right now you'd likely feel light as a feather, free as the wind, happy, confident, giddy. Whoops, kind of let the cat out of the bag there. Well, now you know." (Mike Dooley, Notes from the Universe, p.51)

Impatience is what you feel when you think the future - in hours, days, or years - will be "better" than the present. It won't.

The things and events of time and space ... the stuff that's surronding you now, your memory of recent events, all simply reveal where you've been, not where you're headed. (Mike Dooley, Notes from the Universe, p46)

Don't look to the world for clues, note even to your family, friends, or career. Look within. You decide what's right. You decide what's possible. You write the script and lay down the laws. You are the door, the path, and the light. (Mike Dooley, 'Notes from the Universe', p.45))
