“Feeling bad is not the problem.
The problem is that we feel bad about feeling bad.

Once you begin to let go of feeling bad about feeling bad,
and start feeling better about feeling bad,
then pretty soon you'll just feel better.

And then you'll feel awesome.”
― Eric Micha'el Leventhal

“If I could go back in time to when I was 18yrs old, I would take better notes this time, because back then I knew everything.”

“It’s easy to put the links between the increases in mental illness, depression, ADHD, and the like, with the speed of the modern world. People never get the chance to do nothing, or when they do, they lack the control to prevent their mind from racing off in a thousand different directions. So much so that their doing nothing becomes a thousand different things and the thousand different things becomes stress, anxiety, worry and fear. Left untreated these simple everyday things become well entrenched in our psyches and start to dominate our lives. We have a chronic addiction with doing and we love to use our busyness as a stamp of our hard work and hectic lives and we get stuck in this busy trap of always doing.”

“Your observations and conclusions are mirrored illusions of your inner state of being, teaching you truth through falsehoods, strength through weakness and clarity through confusion. You are seeing your Self now, disguised as the world through a lens of denial, but you will soon come to realize that what you choose to deny in yourself manifests into your world. The flaws you see in your world are your most powerful teachers.”
