Notes

‘The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way’ - Aurelius

It’s not about changing how you feel, it’s about listening to your emotions

You never know how much of subjective reality is a fabrication because you never experience other than inside your own mind

Focus on getting better but let go of the end goal. You get better, not perfect

The only way to become extraordinary depends on what you do with the ordinary

Be where your feet are

The monster everyone is running from is themselves

Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate - Jung

You love in others what you live in yourself. You hate in others what you can’t see in yourself

You create what you believe. You can see what you want. You’ll have what you give.

What we resist, persists (emotions)

Trying to change the external world to be happy is like trying to change the projection on the screen rather than the projection that’s playing it

You don’t need to accomplish anything to be a worthwhile human being

Nothing is as it is, it is as you are

Nobody thinks about you as much as you think about you

You are a book of stories, not a novel

Every relationship you have is with yourself

You must start where you are, you must use what you have and you must do what you can

Pain and happiness are opposite forces within the same function
