“A person who thinks all the time has nothing to think about except thoughts. So he loses touch with reality, and lives in a world of illusions.” ~Alan Watts

“Hurt people hurt people.” ~Justin Bieber

Perceiving life as hard is entirely a choice, regardless of how technical or demanding your responsibilities are.

A creek trickles peacefully, and a waterfall crashes powerfully, but both flow naturally and effortlessly. Regardless of whether our life resembles a creek or a waterfall at any given time it is our choice to sink like a rock, or float like a leaf.

Once you know a few humans you just about know them all. There’s no need to treat each new person in your life as though they are complete strangers.

As a butterfly cannot properly develop without struggling to escape its cocoon, nor do people grow without being challenged and facing adversity. Challenges evolve us both biologically and psychologically.

The brain tends to subconsciously manifest what we imagine, irrespective of whether or not we want it to. So focus on what you want rather than what you don’t want.

When you give your attention to the good rather than bad in a person they will feel the spotlight on that aspect of themselves, and it can start to shine.

If people born before us are born out of a younger universe, why do we call them older? In some sense they’re younger than us, since we’re the universe in an older state.
