It’s the small habits. How you spend your mornings. How you talk to yourself. What you read and what you watch. Who you share your energy with. Who has access to you. That will change your life.
– Michale Tonge
…
To be silent the whole day long, see no newspaper, hear no radio, listen to new gossip, be thoroughly and completely lazy, thoroughly and completely indifferent to the fate of the world is the finest medicine a man can give himself.
– Henry Miller
…
And the joke of it all is your ego doesn’t exist, there’s nothing to get rid of. It’s an illusion. But you still want to ask how to stop the illusion. Well, who is asking? In seeing that you cannot control your mind you realize there is no controller. What you took to be the thinker of thoughts is just one of the thoughts. What you took to be the feeler of the feelings is just one of the feelings. What you took to be the experiencer of experience is just part of the experience.
– Alan Watts
