Author Heidi Priebe on loving someone as they change:
"To love someone long-term is to attend a thousand funerals of the people they used to be. The people they're too exhausted to be any longer. The people they don't recognize inside themselves anymore. The people they grew out of, the people they never ended up growing into.
We so badly want the people we love to get their spark back when it burns out; to become speedily found when they are lost.
But it is not our job to hold anyone accountable to the people they used to be. It is our job to travel with them between each version and to honor what emerges along the way."
"You are richer than 93 percent of people. Not in money, but in time.
Over 108 billion people have lived throughout history. 93 percent of them are dead.
You have what every king and queen, every pharaoh and ruler, every CEO and celebrity of the past would give all their wealth and power for:
Today."
- James Clear

Mortality …the only reality! A poignant first hand account of it…A thread of some selected parts (1)📷
The secret of all power, all achievement and all possession depends upon our method of thinking…
We must “be” before we can “do”, and we can “do” only to the extent which we “are” , and what we “are” depends upon what we “think”

Ownership simply changes our perspective.

When you’re the owner, you’re at the ceiling; and when you’re the buyer, you’re at the floor
Japanese saying:
Every man has 3 hearts, one in his mouth for the world to know, another in his chest just for his friends, and a secret heart buried deep where no one can find it.
That is a heart a man must keep hidden if he wants to survive
