It is those who avoid the spotlight that tend to be doing the greatest things because their hearts are set on avoiding the lesser things.

I want what I want! And I want to find what I want in the exact place, at exact time that I want it to be there. And maybe that’s why so many of us go ‘wanting’.

I thought myself sufficiently shrewd to make whatever decisions I wanted to make, and then to be able to sufficiently steer those decisions away from the rather dark and nasty places they would naturally take me. And I stand oddly perplexed that suddenly everything around me is dark and nasty.

Ego is borne of the need to ‘prove’ oneself instead of making the choice to ‘be’ oneself. And so maybe we need to begin curbing the birthrate.

If I’m the only person at my party it’s probably because the party is about one person. And if it’s only about one person, it’s not a party.

The fool who thinks he’s god will rather quickly discover that he is not, which simply means that the person who was fooled by the fool is none other than the fool himself.

The thing that I’m most likely to collapse under is not the weight of the stresses that stand around me, but the ego that sits within me.

If I am indeed my own god, I’d better start praying to myself to get myself out of myself.

Directing praise to oneself is to cash in on the ego in order to bankrupt the soul.
