We stay the same as we've always been, keeping to the path we've walked our whole lives. Paths that carry so much importance and perceived stability that we are utterly convinced it is the only one to walk – that anyone not walking it with us is being misled.

The more a mind thinks upon something, the deeper it will take root and affect all subsequent and related thought.

We all need to humble ourselves from time to time and expose ourselves to new perspectives and ideas, even those of the non-experts, or else our growth potential gets weighed down with the ignorance of ego and habit.

Perspective alone can make an experience positive or negative, but regardless of which you let it become, it can only have as much power over your outlook on life as you give it.

Once you start settling, and letting others control your life, it can quickly become a habit, so it’s best to avoid such things altogether.

We are creatures of habit more than we are creatures of change.
