The paradox is that by the time you get to be senior, the decisions that matter the most are the ones that would be best made made by people who are junior.

Realize that your physical experience and environment is the materialization of your beliefs. If you find great exuberance, health, effective work, abundance, smiles on the faces of those who you meet, then take it for granted that your beliefs are beneficial. If you see a world that is good, people like you, take it for granted again, that your beliefs are beneficial. But if you find poor health, a lack of meaningful work, a lack of abundance, a world of sorrow and evil, then assume your beliefs are faulty and begin examining them.

The world of comic book collecting is not a pretty place. For a bunch of guys who like good-over-evil stories, you sure meet a lot of morally bankrupt assholes.

We see what we believe, not the other way around.

You create your own reality. There is no other rule.

When you fall in love with the system, you lose the ability to grow.

Alas, there isn't a pain-free way to achieve your goals.
