I think I spent 18 years of my life, trying to become something, I wanted to become good at things, I wanted to become good at guitar, I wanted to become good at school and grades and everything I could do, in that perspective, I'm not okay the way I am unless if I get good at things. I realized I had the game wrong, because the game was to find out what I already was. The whole system that we live in drills into us that we're powerless that we're weak that our society is evil ect. and so forth. It's all a big fat lie, we are powerful, beautiful and extraordinary. There is no reason why we cannot understand who we truly are, where we are going, there is no reason why the average individual cannot be fully empowered, we are incredibly powerful beings.
It is strange that we do not temper our resentment of criticism with a thought for our many faults which have escaped us.
Criticism is the disapproval of people, not for having faults, but having faults different from your own.
It is usually best to be generous with praise, but cautious with criticism.
There is one way to handle the ignorant and malicious critic. Ignore him.
Successful innovators recognize that discovery of great ideas come from looking at the same thing as everyone else and observing something different.
The stability of the whole is guaranteed by the instability of its parts.
I’ll fight when needed, revel when there’s an occasion, mourn when there is grief, and die if my time comes… but I won’t let anyone use me against my will.
Many people have died for their beliefs… The real courage is living and suffering for what you believe.
You can’t argue with all of the fools in the world. It’s easier to let them have their way, then trick them when they’re not paying attention.
