I’ve learned that fear is simply an illusion based on past experiences that we project into the present and onto the future.

When we function from a place of positive energy, the world around us becomes more positive.

When you repeat a new pattern often, you literally change the neural pathways in your brain. This shift helps true change settle in.

It's very easy to look for happiness outside ourselves; in a relationship, a dream job, or the perfect body weight. When we chase happiness externally, we're simply looking for God in all the wrong places. The outside search is based on false projections we place on the world. These projections build up a wall against true happiness, which lies within us.

I would suggest that the next generation stop looking for happiness outside of themselves but instead turn inward.

The issue is that if you hold onto the resentment against yourself, you're just going to recreate that destructive pattern in different forms because unconsciously it's still a belief system that limits you.

If you're feeling stressed or anxious and you don't know why, ask yourself: What little thing led me here? Recently, I canceled on a friend because I was tired. I went to bed feeling stressed out, and I realized, I feel bad because I canceled.
