“Every atom in your body came from a star that exploded. And, the atoms in your left hand probably came from a different star than your right hand. It really is the most poetic thing I know about physics: You are all stardust. You couldn’t be here if stars hadn’t exploded, because the elements - the carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, iron, all the things that matter for evolution and for life - weren’t created at the beginning of time. They were created in the nuclear furnaces of stars, and the only way for them to get into your body is if those stars were kind enough to explode. So, forget Jesus. The stars died so that you could be here today.”

“Moment to moment, rather than skipping over a flash of recognition or achievement, or a fleeting pleasure in a quest for “What next?,” stop to feel gratitude for other people, circumstances or serendipity as well as your own qualities. This will harness your brain’s value-tagging system and make positive achievements and happy thoughts easier to recall in the future. Doing this regularly will attune you to abundance.”
