“Competition is not necessary in an abundant world. You are here to create, not to compete for what has already been created. You are going to get what you want, but in such a way that it helps everyone else as well. You don’t have to take anything away from anyone else, and they aren’t taking from you. You don’t have to drive bargains, cheat, or take advantage of people. No one should work for less than their value, and no one has anything that you cannot have yourself.”
― Brian Scott, The Reality Revolution: The Mind-Blowing Movement to Hack Your Reality

“Connection: Connection is the energy that is created between people when they feel seen, heard, and valued; when they can give and receive without judgment. Belonging: Belonging is the innate human desire to be part of something larger than us. Because this yearning is so primal, we often try to acquire it by fitting in and by seeking approval, which are not only hollow substitutes for belonging, but often barriers to it. Because true belonging only happens when we present our authentic, imperfect selves to the world, our sense of belonging can never be greater than our level of self-acceptance.”

“It isn’t a sadness, but a joy, that we don’t do the same things for the length of our lives.”

“The only way we can make the most of our lives is to make the most of our moments. Today, wherever you are, decide to stay. We can know the gifts that lie in the present only if we stay in it long enough to receive them.”
