''Begin each day by telling yourself: Today I shall be meeting with interference, ingratitude, insolence, disloyalty, ill-will, and selfishness - all of them due to the offenders’ ignorance of what is good or evil. But for my part I have long perceived the nature of good and its nobility, the nature of evil and its meanness, and also the nature of the culprit himself, who is my brother (not in the physical sense, but as a fellow creature similarly endowed with reason and a share of the divine); therefore none of those things can injure me, for nobody can implicate me in what is degrading.''

Anytime I’ve compared myself to others, I’ve felt less than. Until I realized that the only person I should compare myself to, is the person I was yesterday. No matter what you compare, you will always find someone richer, better looking than you, has a nicer car, has a better (fill in the blanks). And it's totally pointless. When I began focusing on the idea of going to bed better than I woke up, basically making sure that throughout day I do things that make a better version than the one who woke up that morning, then life really began to change for me. Focus on you and your own progress. Run your own marathon!

Ты можешь достичь полного контроля над своим телом, над миллиардом людей, над землей, водой и ветрами, но тебе не подняться над миром. Всегда будут причины чувствовать себя несчастным, беспомощным, слабым - даже на пике величия, когда вокруг твердят, что ты состоялся в жизни. Путь восхождения - ничто иное как ловушка ложных надежд. Мир не подчиниться твоей воле, так перестань напяливать на него упряжь своих притязаний. Сдайся ему. Позволь себя уничтожить. Вернись туда, откуда ты начинал свой путь и найди себя старого. Первого. Настоящего. Ту безымянную пустоту, из которой ты бежал в страхе - за именами.. за тем, чтобы быть кем-то и чем-то, лишь бы не самим собой. Пусть все идут в одну сторону, а ты иди в противоположную. Отбрось стремления, жажду почестей, мудрости и любви - и ты увидишь, что ничего не произошло. Смерть не наступила. Не пришла ни на первый день, ни на второй. Ни на десятый, ни на двадцатый. Ожидание смерти - то же самое, что ожидание счастья. Оба несбыточны. И когда ты поймешь, что ожидание неисполнимого счастья приносит тебе больше муки, чем ожидание невозможной смерти, станет ясно, что разницы между спуском и возвышением нет. Только исходная точка без назначения.

Да и что иное могу я, хромой старик, как не воспевать бога? Если бы, вот, я был соловьем, я делал бы то, что делает соловей, если бы лебедем - то, что делает лебедь.
