If we think weโre small, limited, inadequate creatures, then we tend to behave that way, and the energy we radiate reflects those thoughts no matter what we do.

Marianne WilliamsonWhen I was a child, my society lifted me up - though education primarily, as well as through other kinds of cultural stimulation.

I don't have a problem with that. I think that is the best way to go about living.
