Ours is a world where people don’t know what they want and are willing to go through hell to get it.
One of the symptoms of an approaching
nervous breakdown is the belief that
one’s work is terribly important.
Bertrand Russell (1872-1970)}
There is an Indian belief that everyone
is a house of four rooms: a physical,
a mental, an emotional and a spiritual room.
Most of us tend to live in one room most
of the time, but unless we go into every
room every day, even if only to keep it
aired, we are not complete.
— Rumer Godden–House of Four Rooms
Self-importance is our greatest enemy. Think about it–what weakens us is
feeling offended by the deeds and misdeeds of our fellowmen. Our
self-importance requires that we spend most of our lives offended by someone.
— Carlos Castenada
