  1. Pinned Tweet

    Answers are only skin-deep. Until you've wrestled with the questions yourself, they don't really belong to you.

  2. If my life were a TV show, what would I be yelling at the guy on the screen right now?

  3. Ah, for the days when my feed was mostly text and I actually wanted to read it, instead of just pics and what Twitter *thinks* I'll like. :(

  4. A little sneak peek from the upcoming workshop...

  5. "It is impossible to resist any condition in life and learn from it at the same time." ~ Guy Finley

  6. "No negative state is interested in ending itself." ~ Guy Finley

  7. The truth only hurts when you think *you're* right, and clearly the rest of the universe is simply mistaken.

  8. *Every* piece of social commentary [or self-help advice] is most likely to go to the people who need it *least*:

  9. Good self-help advice is like good driving directions: completely dependent on where you're starting from!

  10. Most things we fear losing, we never had in the first place. Strangely, giving up our illusions is harder than giving up what's real.

  11. New year's resolution: Stop 100% of my all-or-nothing thinking.

  12. That is, if you want to make something a *higher* priority, it's only going to happen if you first make something else a *lower* priority.

  13. Every improvement is a change, which implies a change in VALUES. And the new can only be valued more if something of the old is valued LESS.

  14. Parent: "When you're done with something, put it away!" Me: "Uhh.... what is this 'done' thing you speak of?"

  15. When we say, "so-and-so shouldn't have done that," we're trying to not-feel the hurt or loss of what happened. But admitting it hurts less.

  16. And if you think that means you "should" do more of what you're "going to", all you've done is substitute a different word for "going to"!

  17. "Going to do" something uses a lot more mental effort than actually doing it. So if you're not doing it, don't "going to do " it either.

  18. “You can find a million reasons to be sad, but you only have to find one reason to be happy. Every day I find one.” - Jason Zhang

  19. "Life is constantly showing you the difference between what you say that you want and who you demonstrate that you are." --

  20. Don't wish to be "good at"; wish to be *better*. Good is a mirage, a moving target. "Better" you can do every day.

  21. "We are controlled by everything with which we identify. We can master everything from which we disidentify." -
