Someday, you will realize that there is nothing more important than being able to enjoy your life right now. And healing? It’s about getting to a place where your prioritize nothing over the quality of your one short life.

Highlight of the day: what leaves the path is clearing the path

You get stuck when you try to make something that’s wrong for you right. When you try to force it into a place in your life in which doesn’t belong. You get split; you breed this internal conflict, which you cannot resolve. The more it intensifies, the more you mistake it for passion.

Highlight of the day: Logical Lapse

Think of something that you aren’t afraid of maybe something that other people might find scary. Why aren’t you afraid of it because you don’t have a logical lapse there. When you experience a logical lapse the climax becomes the conclusion.

Highlight of the day: Difference between fear and gut feeling.

Gut feeling is what you’re feeling at the very moment or the after. For example,let’s say you meet a person at work, you will have this gut feeling for who they are because you already experienced it. There’s no such thing as gut feeling in the future, that’s just you having the fear of what’s going to happen to you.

So many things I recognize that I do and at the same time, I unconsciously did or did do. This is a great book 👍
