Energy is the currency of the universe. When you ‘pay’ attention to something, you buy that experience.

If you plant a tomato seed, you’re not going to get corn. You can’t sow one thing and hope to reap another. If you are planting and nourishing negative thoughts, you’re not going to get positive actions or results. The seed determines the fruit.

Regardless of how much you explain, you will never be able to get the whole world to agree with you. At some point you have to stop needing consensus for your life. You have to stop needing to justify your right to live it your way. Give yourself the permission you need.

I am not here for your understanding of who I am. I am here for your understanding of who you are. I am your mirror.

Read books by people you disagree with. Listen to others who think differently from you. Watch programming you wouldn’t normally watch. Expand your mind and views of the world.

You will know if you are completely done with something when you give it up and you feel freedom instead of loss.
