Kindle Notes & Highlights
Happiness is not only how we can astound our senses, but also the peace of mind that comes from knowing we are becoming who we want and need to be.
It’s easier to act your way into a new way of thinking rather than think your way into a new way of acting, so do one little thing today and let the momentum build.
The fact that you do not need to be exceptionally beautiful or talented or successful to experience the things that make life profound: love, knowledge, connection, community, and so on.
The idea that perhaps the current problem in your life is not the problem, but that your perception is skewed, or you aren’t thinking of solutions as much as you are focusing on your discomfort.
The ways in which your current situation—though perhaps unplanned or unwanted—could be the path to the place you’ve actually always wanted to be, if only you’d begin to think of it that way.
How you can adequately and healthfully allow yourself to feel and express pain when it comes up (as opposed to just freaking out and trying to get rid of it as fast as possible).
The fact that the way to change your life is to change the way you think, and
the way to change the way you think is to change what you read.
What qualities you admire most in other people. (This is what you most like about yourself.)
How complicated the questions are; how simple the answers turn out to be.
