Really good easy read, I’m flying through her.

Really good life stories questioning what masculinity and strength truly is. What is a man? How does a boy become a man?

There about to kill the Count! (I think idk)

Lucy’s dead, they’re trying to go kill Dracula now and apparently Dracula is moving next door to Dr.Seward or one of them. Let’s see what happens.

Reinforcing how love is inside you. Your cells are all working in harmony, worshipping you all for you. When you see the world through lens of love all you’ll see is love, when you see through lens of sadness or envy that’s all you’ll see. If you’re looking for love inside someone else you’ll always be disappointed, you have to start with you.

The more you experience, the more you’ll realize you are not what you believe. Everything you believe was out of your control, you are not the soul nor are you the mind. You are not what you did good or bad. You are LIFE, you are a force that loves and lives. The day you stop loving is the day you die, don’t get caught up in the Dream or illusions society springs upon you.

Happiness comes from you, not from someone else, the moment you assign your happiness onto someone else is the moment you set yourself up. You were happy because you loved that person, not because of that person.

Good so far, glad to see some people in the WH can still be bipartisan and make right decisions not based on party but just right or wrong.

Adler describes how once you commit yourself to loving others you’ll feel like you’re contributing which will then give you happiness. He also says there is no ‘destined ones’ people overlook others because they’re looking for ‘the one’ that just doesn’t exist. Finally self reliance is attained once you love others unconditionally and can live a less self centered life. Worry less about you.

Essentially insecurity or negative feelings come from when one doesn’t feel like they are contributing to their community or compare their contributions to others and deem theirs as “worse” or others as “better.” Adler argues when one accepts that life isn’t about being better or more flashy, life is a wheel that can’t spin without each of us. Nothing is objectively “better” only a better attitude.

Give the empathy you would want to be given in this world.

Interesting getting some insights into the White House and how things are conducted in Washington

People have their own tasks, when you try to tell people how they “should” do it, it can be seen as you thinking that your way is better, you are better then the person you’re giving advice to. It can lead to a weird dynamic in that persons head. Adler says this.

Only focusing on your tasks. Letting go of other people’s tasks are a true guide to inner peace. Trying to make the horse drink the water will drive you crazy, just lead them to water. If they drink, they drink.

Life isn’t a competition of winners and losers. Anyone who boasts their accomplishments don’t feel enough as is, so that’s how they compensate. It’s unhealthy to have a superiority complex and the only healthy person to feel inferior to is your idle self.

Adler’s teachings say you that you cultivate the life you want. Your value system is how you’ll perceive your lifestyle. If you don’t like certain things, take the necessary steps in order to do so. If you don’t do that then you are the reason you hate your lifestyle. Everything goes back to you nothing external.

Good so far, it’s cool knowing that china realized opium was becoming a problem to their citizens then tried to destroy it all. Then England came and messed all that up once they realized how much money was being lost trading opium

Anytime someone fails it’s nothing anyone is laughing at or judging them for. That just means that person tried to do something hard and didn’t for whatever reason.

Political courage takes guts, and sometimes goes against the current status quo. But may be looked on afterwards as wise or “ahead of its time.”
