The Problem Is Not What Other People

It Is A Thousand Times More Sensible To Climb One Foot Up The Mountainside Than To Chatter For Years About The Mountaintop.

It Is Utterly Useless To Try To Change The Outer World, For It Is But A Reflection Of Inner Causes. The True Seeker Seeks To Change Himself.

A Chief Cause Of Unhappiness Is What I Call Mental Movies. Mental Movies Are A Misuse Of The Imagination. You Know How It Goes. You Have A Painful Experience With Someone, Then Run It Over And Over In Your Mind. You Visualize What You Said, What He Did, How You Both Felt. As Awful As It Is, You Feel Compelled To Repeat The Film Day And Night. It Is As If You Were Locked Inside A Theatre Playing A Horrible Movie.

You Know What Is Right. Deep Down, You Know. The Battle Between Your True Wisdom And The Counterfeit Wisdom Of Society Is What Causes Frustration. Refuse To Compromise With What You Know Is Right-with What Is Right For You.

Awareness Of Your Weakness And Confusion Makes You Strong Because Conscious Awareness Is The Bright Light That Destroys The Darkness Of Negativity. Detection Of Inner Negativity Is Not A Negative Act, But A Courageously Positive Act That Makes You A New Person.
