You can spend your time on stage pleasing the heckler in the back, or you can devote it to the audience that came to hear you perform.

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.

The only real help is self-help. Anything else is just designed to get you to the point where you can help yourself.

You create your reality according to your beliefs and expectations, therefore you should examine these carefully. If you do not like some aspect of your world, then examine your own expectations.

Choose your customers. Fire the ones that hurt your ability to deliver the right story to the others.

Life is a buzzer box. Poke it.

It is not virtuous in any way to put yourself down, or to punish yourself, because you do not feel you have lived up to your best behavior at any given time.
