“For me, the accomplishment and celebration seem to be centered around something else. Suddenly my weaknesses are being celebrated as my strengths and I wonder if Achilles might have lived forever if he’d taken more care of his heel.”

“It’s a worn-out cliché that the first step is admitting you have a problem, and it’s true for most that in order to break an addiction you must see the problem clearly. You have to see the mountain that needs to be climbed. Tragically, for many it’s seemingly unclimbable. Admitting you have a problem means nothing but compounding shame and guilt unless you’re willing to climb. It will be steep and hard and exhausting and you’ll likely fall and end up in a heap. Maybe you’ll get hit by an avalanche.”

“Some new research tells us that imagining a feeling of happiness, especially during meditation, starts to shape our lives toward it despite no external factors changing at all. The pretty people in Venice, California, call this “manifestation,” but ironically, it usually isn’t about genuine contentment with what is but rather is focused on what we want. The Buddhists, Taoists, and Stoics have been quietly asserting for a couple of thousand years that lasting happiness is about presence as much as it is about where you end up.”
― Cory Richards, The Color of Everything: A Journey to Quiet the Chaos Within
