Virtually all of life's ills boil down to mindlessness. If you can understand someone else's perspective, then there's no reason to be angry at them, envy them, steal from them.

Knowing what is and knowing what can be are not the same thing.

To be mindfully engaged is the most natural, creative state we can be in.

Life consists only of moments, nothing more than that. So if you make the moment matter, it all matters

There is always a step small enough from where we are to get us to where we want to be. If we take that small step, there's always another we can take, and eventually a goal thought to be too far to reach becomes achievable.

Out of an intuitive experience of the world comes a continuous flow of novel distinctions. Purely rational understanding, on the other hand, serves to confirm old mindsets, rigid categories. Artists, who live in the same world as the rest of us, steer clear of these mindsets to make us see things anew.

We should open ourselves to the impossible and embrace a psychology of possibility.
