“The habits you created to survive will no longer serve you when it's time to thrive. Get out of survival mode. New habits. New Life.”
Eboni Davis

Alan W. Watts
“This, then, is the human problem: there is a price to be paid for every increase in consciousness. We cannot be more sensitive to pleasure without being more sensitive to pain. By remembering the past we can plan for the future. But the ability to plan for the future is offset by the "ability" to dread pain and to fear of the unknown. Furthermore, the growth of an acute sense of the past and future gives us a corresponding dim sense of the present. In other words, we seem to reach a point where the advantages of being conscious are outweighed by its disadvantages, where extreme sensitivity makes us unadaptable.”
Alan Wilson Watts, The Wisdom of Insecurity: A Message for an Age of Anxiety

Blaise Pascal
“All human evil comes from a single cause, man’s inability to sit still in a room.”
Blaise Pascal

Alan W. Watts
“If, then, my awareness of the past and future makes me less aware of the present, I must begin to wonder whether I am actually living in the real world.”
Alan Wilson Watts, The Wisdom of Insecurity: A Message for an Age of Anxiety

Bertrand Russell
“It is amazing how much both happiness and efficiency can be increased by the cultivation of an orderly mind, which thinks about a matter adequately at the right time rather than inadequately at all times. When a difficult or worrying decision has to be reached, as soon as all the data are available, give the matter your best thought and make your decision; having made the decision, do not revise it unless some new fact comes to your knowledge. Nothing is so exhausting as indecision, and nothing is so futile.”
Bertrand Russell
