Kindle Notes & Highlights
Happiness is not how many things you do, but how well you do them.
your relationship to everyone else is an extension of your relationship to yourself.
You find that you’re seeing issues you struggled with as a kid reappear in your adult life, and while on the surface this may seem like a matter of not having overcome them, it really means you are becoming conscious of why you think and feel so you can change it.
When you’re utilizing the right hemisphere more often (you’re becoming more intuitive, you’re dealing with emotions, you’re creating) sometimes it can seem as though “left brain” functions leave you feeling fuzzy. Things such as focusing, organizing, and remembering small details suddenly become difficult.
Happiness is, in an essential form, acceptance.
Happy people are often perceived as being naive and vulnerable.
You will never be ready for the things that matter, and waiting to feel ready before you start acting is how the knowing-doing gap widens.
How you will remember this time in your life 20 years from now. What you will wish you had done or stopped doing, what you overlooked, what little things you didn’t realize you should have appreciated.
People don’t thrive when they’re fulfilled. They stagnate.
(in fearing that happiness won’t last forever, we lose it—in fearing that grief will last forever, we create it).
