@badwolf70 @USAPatriotBT @John_F_kJr The problem is, that part of the brain never developed properly in someone who never used it (someone completely blind since birth). It's different for someone who had at least some sight and lost it later. But, that wasn't the claim.

@SaucetownMag @Iamivy05 The problem isn't being productive, the problem is attaching your sense of self worth to being productive. Subtle but huge difference.

Running away is driven by fear; walking away is guided by intention.

Whenever you deeply accept this moment as it is - no matter what form it takes - you are still, you are at peace.

Another false belief: Happiness is in the future. Not true. Right here and now you are happy, and you do not know it because your false beliefs and your distorted perceptions have gotten you caught up in fears, anxieties, attachments etc.

Their low standards are their problem.

The standard you apply to yourself is your concern.

[Orange Book 🍊📖 @orangebook]

One of the most common signs of arrogance is when you spend most of your time mindlessly consuming entertainment that won’t improve your life whilst simultaneously expecting life to get better. Life gets better once you start treating your time with enough respect, never before.

[Tiny Buddha @tinybuddha]

Sometimes, in the middle of a stressful day, something makes you smile even if only for a minute. Let yourself soak it in. The tiny bits of good can often make the hard stuff feel easier to manage.

[James Clear @JamesClear]

Don't worry about being the most interesting person in the room, just try to be the most interested person in the room.

The interested person asks about others and leaves a good impression because people like talking about themselves. The interested person is genuinely curious about someone's craft and learns a lot about how things work. The interested person engages with more people and—because opportunities come through people—is more likely to catch a lucky break.

In general, the interested person learns more and tends to be well-liked. And in the long run, it's hard to keep down someone who is well-learned and well-liked.

If they didn't mean to offend, there's no reason to take offence. Just communicate.

If they did mean to offend, why give them the satisfaction.

[Mark Manson @Markmanson]

One of the most beneficial traits in both relationships and life: being nearly impossible to offend.

"You can be a kind, compassionate person and still call someone out for being manipulative, insensitive, or unfair. And you can empathize with their pain while also making it clear that it doesn’t justify mistreating you.” ~Lori Deschene
