“Did you ever consider how ridiculous it would be to try to cram on a farm—to forget to plant in the spring, play all summer and then cram in the fall to bring in the harvest? The farm is a natural system. The price must be paid and the process followed. You always reap what you sow; there is no shortcut.”
― Stephen R. Covey, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: Powerful Lessons in Personal Change

“The secret of life is to “die before you die” — and find that there is no death.”
― Eckhart Tolle, The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment

“It’s not what happens to us, but our response to what happens to us that hurts us.”

“The glory of acquisition starts to dim with use, eventually changing to boredom as the item no longer elicits even a bit of excitement. This is the pattern of everything in our lives. No matter how much we wish for something, over time it becomes a normal part of our lives, and then a tired old item that bores us, even though we did actually get our wish. And we end up being unhappy.”
― Fumio Sasaki, Goodbye, Things: The New Japanese Minimalism
