“What determines each person's state of happiness or unhappiness is not the event itself, but what the event means to that person.”
“What determines each person's state of happiness or unhappiness is not the event itself, but what the event means to that person.”

“Every belief that you hold manifests itself in some manner by either causing you to take some form of action or by preventing you from taking action. If you don't believe something is possible, you won't even attempt it.”
Chris Prentiss, Zen and the Art of Happiness“Again, all of life presents us with two basic ways to treat events. We can either label them "god for us" or "bad for us." The event is only an event. It's how we treat the event that determines what it becomes in our lives. The event doesn't make that determination- we do.”
Chris Prentiss, Zen and the Art of Happiness“Your actions create an "energy vortex" that draws in the necessary ingredients for your venture.”
Chris Prentiss, Zen and the Art of Happiness“Zen is a journey of exploration and a way of living that, in and of itself, does not belong to any one religion or tradition. It is about experiencing life in the here and now and about removing the dualistic distinctions between "I" and "you" between "subject" and "objective", between our spiritual and our ordinary, everyday activities.”
Chris Prentiss, Zen and the Art of Happiness“A computer cannot manufacture new information. That's the difference between our brain and a computer.”
Chris Prentiss, Be Who You Want, Have What You Want: Change Your Thinking, Change Your Life“The word Universe is made up of two Latin words- uni (meaning "one") and versus (meaning "turned into"). It literally means "one turned into.”
Chris Prentiss, Be Who You Want, Have What You Want: Change Your Thinking, Change Your Life“The energy everything is made of is conscious. It's alive.”
Chris Prentiss, Be Who You Want, Have What You Want: Change Your Thinking, Change Your Life“When you need an idea about how to do anything, get quiet and relaxed and think about what it is you need to know. Then the flow of ideas will come. Be patient and let it happen. Sometimes it takes a little while, but it always works.”
Chris Prentiss, Be Who You Want, Have What You Want: Change Your Thinking, Change Your Life“The totally alive, totally conscious, and totally aware Universe takes care of itself completely. It is totally self- reliant and totally self- sufficient. It is perfect.”
