Finding Happiness

“Ignorance, the root and stem of every evil.”  - Plato

"Opinion is the medium between knowledge and ignorance." - Plato

“Give up defining yourself - to yourself or to others. You won't die. You will come to life. And don't be concerned with how others define you. When they define you, they are limiting themselves, so it's their problem. Whenever you interact with people, don't be there primarily as a function or a role, but as the field of conscious Presence. You can only lose something that you have, but you cannot lose something that you are.” - Eckhart Tolle

If we had no winter, 

the spring would not be so pleasant; 

if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, 

prosperity would not be so welcome. 

- Anne Bradstreet

"We exist to contribute the most good we can, and to experience all the joys, and learn the lessons we are to learn (and teach others) from the challenges and hardships in life." 
- Dr. Eben Alexander

Dr. Eben Alexander, is a renowned academic neurosurgeon, spent over three decades honing his scientific worldview. He thought he knew how the brain and mind worked. A transcendental Near-Death Experience (NDE), in which he was driven to the brink of death and spent a week deep in coma from an inexplicable brain infection changed all of that - completely.

Every one who is seriously involved in the pursuit of science becomes convinced that a spirit is manifest in the laws of the Universe - a spirit vastly superior to that of man, and one in the face of which we with our modest powers must feel humble."

 - Albert Einstein

"Privacy is the most valuable asset that money can buy."

"The unchecked striving for more, for endless growth, is a dysfunction and a disease.  It is the same dysfunction the cancerous cells manifests, whose only goal is to multiply, unaware that it is bringing about its own destruction by destroying the organism of which it is a part." 

- A New Earth

Let Things Unfold Naturally

"Your fortune is not something to find but to unfold."
-Eric Butterworth

"You are never upset for the reason you think." 

- A Course in Miracles

When something bad happens you have three choices.  You can either let it define you, let it destroy you, or you can let it strengthen you.

"For me, I am driven by two main philosophies: know more today about the world than I knew yesterday and lessen the suffering of others. You'd be surprised how far that gets you.”  - Neil deGrasse Tyson

In all things of nature there is something of the marvelous. - 

Aristotle

“I detach myself from preconceived outcomes and trust that all is well. Being myself allows the wholeness of my unique magnificience to draw me in those directions most beneficial to me and to all others. This is really the only thing I have to do. And within that framework, everything that is truly mine comes into my life effortlessly, in the most magical and unexpected ways imaginable, demonstrating every day the power and love of who I truly am.” 
― Anita Moorjani, Dying to Be Me: My Journey from Cancer, to Near Death, to True Healing
