Kindle Notes & Highlights
we are still no happier than our ancestors a thousand years ago.
Moral of the story: bullshit may get you to the top, but it never lets you stay there!
as long as your inner life is enslaved to external situations, it will remain a precarious condition.
All human experience is one hundred percent self-created.
If you still believe that someone “up there” is going to rescue you and solve all your problems, just remember that you are living on a round planet—and one that’s spinning.
If you go outward, it is an endless journey. If you turn inward, it is just one moment.
Whatever we do not want to take responsibility for, whatever we cannot make sense of logically, we label “destiny.”
You are trying to live your life through what you have gathered, not through who you are.
Your destiny is written by you unconsciously.
When pain, misery, or anger happen, it is time to look within you, not around you.
To achieve well-being the only one who needs to be fixed is you.
You may consider yourself a good person, but if you don’t water your garden, will it flower?
