Educated people change their behavior. This change is temporary.

Smart people change their nature. This drives permanent behavior change.

If you want to change the world, the way you do things cannot just be better, they need to be drastically different. Change your actions and the world will change.

Ethics = Doing what you say.

Ethics = Only teach what you try to practice.

Ethics = Helping others when you feel the prompting.

Ethics = Doing what is morally right (truth doesn’t change).

Ethics = Being honest with yourself, being honest with others.

The 1st choice you need to make: what do you want?
The 2nd choice you need to make: what will you do?

There comes a moment when your pain is too strong, when your breath can’t be found, and the decision needs to be made: what do you do?

Do you give up?

Do you keep going?

The second decision is what will determine if you accomplish your first one.

Those who can master silence, win.

When you are comfortable with silence, you can learn to control your emotions.

When you are unafraid of silence, there is nothing left to fear.

All growth, comes from risk.

All reward, comes from risk.

Happy Birthday, Annamaria!

Those who specialize win – because when you specialize you are able to notice the patterns. Expertise is the ability to see patterns. Without specializing, you will never see the patterns.

What we feel always is stronger than what we know.

We know what to do, sometimes we don’t feel like it.

We know who to trust, sometimes we feel like trusting someone else.

We know what is right, sometimes we feel like doing something wrong.

We know what is real, sometimes we feel like nothing works.

When we learn to control and manage our feelings to gain alignment between what we feel and what we know, we will find peace and fulfillment.

While praise is nice, it doesn’t help us all that much.

Criticism hurts, but criticism helps.

When we learn to adapt and grow based on negative feedback, our potential is reached.

Safety is not being safe, safety is feeling safe. Safety is a feeling. Safety is not based on truth or reality. There are so many variables that cannot be controlled, what can be controlled is our long-term response to every situation we are in. Anxiety and fear do not allow you to feel safe. To find safety learn to develop more faith, more hope, and more peace.
