“You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.” - Buckminster Fuller
“The human heart is an extremely interesting organ. Some might call it a selfish organ. Did you know that as your blood flows, the heart saves the best blood for itself, and the lesser quality blood it gives to the other organs. Some might say it’s the selfish organ. But the thing is, if this human organ didn’t take the best quality blood for itself, the human heart would fail. Including the brain would fail within. It has to make sure that it gives it the best attention to itself. You have to appreciate and love yourself first.”
Ordinary faces hide extraordinary love - by me

The people who ask the most technical questions are often the ones who get the least accomplished AND repeat the same kinds of questions for the longest time.
“I’m not crazy Scully. I got the same doubts as you.”
Reflections on RoM: Don’t share anything with the person who can’t help you (or has shown that they have no interest to help you). Don’t at all do it. If you get a feeling that someone can’t help and might make the problem worse, knowingly or unknowingly, don’t tell them at all.
When you start caring more about the results than about how you look, you’ll start getting the results.
From Dale Carnegie’s Book:
Probably everyone has heard the saying that goes “fall down seven times, get up eight”?
(I think they started counting from when whoever it was got up out of bed that day.)
I was yesterday years old when I read something too similar in an old book that seems like it could be where that common saying was swiped from:
For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.
– Proverbs 24:16 KJV
(Notice how in this saying the guy gets up the SAME NUMBER of times that he falls? This guy knew how to count.)
A great person is someone who is able to either understand what the world around them is really like or change the world in the image they have formed.
Found it right now in one of Eric Berne’s books.
“Be extremely patient with the output. Be extremely impatient with the input.”
Isn’t it such a wonderful feeling when you finally begin to have a greater sense of awareness and acceptness in yourself? You begin to take responsibility for the way you have felt, that you were responsible for everything in your life: your sadness, anger, happiness, tiredness.
You finally take responsibility and start the process of reinventing yourself. For a moment you feel like a failure, but that feeling is almost immediately overwhelmed by a genuine sense of empowerment! Use that power to be the driving force behind creating an extraordinary life for yourself and your family!
~Tony Robbins
This makes me think of some things from ‘Frogs into Princes’ by Bandler & Grinder.
