Success

"In many cases you are not buying a product but an 'identity enhancer'. Designer labels are primarily collective identities that you buy into. They are expensive and therefore 'exclusive'. If everybody could buy them, they would lose their psychological value and all you would be left with would be their material value, which likely amounts to a fraction of what you paid."

Philosophy

"To complain is always nonacceptance of what is. It invariably carries an unconscious negative charge. When you complain, you make yourself into a victim. When you speak out, you are in your power. So change the situation by taking action or by speaking out if necessary or possible; leave the situation or accept it. All else is madness."

Acceptance

"Pleasure is always derived from something outside you, whereas joy arises from within."

Wisdom

"It is not uncommon for people to spend their whole life waiting to start living."

Wisdom

"I'm grateful for always this moment, the now, no matter what form it takes."

Mindfulness

"Boredom, anger, sadness, or fear are not 'yours,' not personal. They are conditions of the human mind. They come and go. Nothing that comes and goes is you."

Psychology

To forgive is to overlook, or rather to look through. You look through the ego to the sanity that is in every human being as his or her essence."
