Kindle Notes & Highlights
Being present means simply having a moment-to-moment awareness of what’s happening. It means paying attention to what’s going on rather than being caught up in your own thoughts.
When your brain spins negative scenarios, remind yourself that you may not be getting an accurate perception of reality. Your brain might be following its negativity bias, playing up some elements more than others, or omitting some positives entirely.
“Resentment is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die.”
It’s often said that everyone you meet has stories to tell, and that everyone has a few that would break your heart.
“You can make more friends in two months by becoming truly interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you.”
