"Our minds form cohesive narratives out of disparate elements all the time: one of the things we are best at is telling ourselves just so stories about our own behavior and that of others. If we’re not sure, we make it up – or rather, our brain does"
I have learned that most people are ruled by fear.
They will never win at anything so long as they aren't willing to become intimate with the spooks that haunt their psyches.
"Let the lie come into the world, let it even triumph. But not through me.”
- Alexander Solzhenitsyn
"believing in the truths of science is unavoidably an act of faith. Most of us neither witness the successful experiments nor would be able to understand them if we did. So we put an extraordinary amount of trust in things we know virtually nothing about"
If you're an older millennial who does the online business thing, your friends probably look at you with a combination of skepticism and awe.
Lao Tzu once said:
A leader is best when people barely know he exists, when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say: we did it ourselves.
You lead by being willing to walk alone.
“Follow the science” is not the same as “follow the scientist."
Gossip more and more about all the good things being done by ordinary people around you.
Meaning is found through struggle but it is sustained through progress.
Journalists cannot serve two masters. To the extent that they take on the task of suppressing information or biting their tongue for the sake of some political agenda, they are betraying the trust of the public and corrupting their own profession.
Comparison is the biggest killer of happiness. Don't compare what you lack with what others have, because they also lack something that you have. Instead, appreciate the blessings that we all occupy.
Replying to
Gratitude brings us the synergistic effects of how complements bring compliments. We compare in our desire for more .Once we realize the universe residing within we begin to see the synergies of comparison that can create inspiration, desire & purpose. Surface comparison is futile.
Never underestimate the power of a conversation.
So many problems can be avoided and situations improved if people on both sides just meet and talk.
No blaming. No ego. No agenda.
Just an open mind.
