Better days are coming. What feels overwhelming today will one day be something you look back on with pride. Things will change, this feeling will pass and life will begin to feel good again.
Keep going. This difficult moment is only one part of your story. Things will get better, happiness will return and life will begin to feel good again.
Commit harmless mistakes that will not hurt you in the long run but will give you the chance to ask for his help.
Masters adore such requests.
A master who cannot bestow on you the gifts of his experience may direct rancor and ill will at you instead.
We all struggle. Some of us more than others. There's nothing wrong in admitting that we do. It makes us human. Life is not a walk in the park. Life is hard & also beautiful. You'll feel happy and sad, Hurt and joy. Whatever you do, be real with yourself.
Never criticize people overtly— that will make them insecure, and resistant to change. Plant ideas, insinuate suggestions. Charmed by your diplomatic skills, people will not notice your growing power.
Our very lives depend on our relationships with people.
Knowing why people do what they do is the most important tool we can possess, without which our other talents can only take us so far.
People are generally never comfortable with the thought that they could be gullible and less than intelligent.
If they have to admit they are not smart in the conventional way, they will at least think they are cleverer than others.
See people as facts of nature.
They come in all varieties, like flowers or rocks.
There are fools and saints and sociopaths and egomaniacs and noble warriors; there are the sensitive and insensitive.
They all play a role in our social ecology.
