Don't worry about your stuff. Worry about making meaning instead.

As far as you are concerned the present is your point of action, focus and power, and from that point of volition you form both your future and past. Realizing this, you will understand that you are not at the mercy of a past over which you have no control.

It is very important that you express your idealism actively, to what ever extent you can, for this increases your sense of worth and power.

Don’t try to please everyone. There are countless people who don’t want one, haven’t heard of one or actively hate it. So what?

And when you realize that you form the events of your life in the same way, you will learn to take hold of your entire consciousness in whatever aspect it shows itself in this life. Through all of this you must realize that you are not powerless. Remember, also, that this life is a dimension of experience and reality even if it is, in contrast, a dream in a higher level of reality in which you have your larger consciousness.

Relying too much on proof distracts you from the real mission–which is emotional connection.

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