”It’s easy to feel disappointed by life; success is never as fulfilling as you think it is going to be. But there is a reason for this.

Here Is A List Of 30 David Deida Quotes:
#1 “A free man is free to acknowledge his fears, without hiding them, or hiding from them.”
#2 ”Feel your suffering so deeply and thoroughly that you penetrate it, and realize its fearful foundation.”
#3 ”Masculine and feminine aspects exist in all beings.”
#4 ”If you are waiting for anything in order to live and love without holding back, then you suffer.”
#5 “You should always listen to your woman, and then make your own decision. If you choose to go with your woman’s suggestion even when deep in your heart you feel that another decision is more wise, you are, in effect, saying, “I don’t trust my own wisdom.” You are weakening yourself by telling yourself this. You are weakening your woman’s trust in you: why should she trust your wisdom if you don’t?”
#6 “If knowing the truth is sufficient for you, then practice the art of philosophy. If only living the truth will suffice, then practice the art of love through your emotions, your mind, and your body.“
#7 “A happy woman is a woman relaxed in her body and heart: powerful, unpredictable, deep, potentially wild and destructive, or calm and serene, but always full of life, surrendered to and moved by the great force of her oceanic heart.”
#8 ”Masculine anger is always because you are feeling constrained, trapped by life. Feminine anger is always because you are feeling unloved.”
#9 “Every moment of your life is either a test or a celebration”
#10 “As long as life continues, the creative challenge is to tussle, play, and make love with the present moment while giving your unique gift.”
#11 “One of the deepest feminine desires in intimacy is precisely not to have to always figure it out for her man and guide him.”
#12 “The feminine always seems chaotic and complicated from the perspective of the masculine.”
#13 “Life itself is the feminine….whenever you are feeling isolated and weary, feel the present moment as if it were a woman.
#14 ”If you know your purpose, your deepest desire, then the secret of success is to discipline your life so that you support your deepest purpose and minimize distractions and detours.”
