“I’m convinced that this anxiety running through my life is the tension between what I “should be” and what i am. My anxiety doesn’t come from thinking about the future but from wanting to control it. It seems to begin whenever I smuggle into my mind an expectation about how I or others should be….
Collective schizophrenia
“The message of the consumer society, pumped out over flat screens… is shrill and unrelenting: You are a failure. Pop culture celebrates those who wallow in power, wealth and self-obsession, and perpetuates the lie that if you work hard and are clever, you can become a ‘success.’… The disparity between the glittering world that people…
The way to be most helpful

С нещата от този свят е по-добре да се пазиш от съвършенството – когато е най-пълна, луната започва да чезне, плодовете падат, когато узреят, сърцето, щом…
Wanting success really bad?
Don’t aim at success! “The more you aim at it and make it a target, the more you are going to miss it. For success, like happiness, cannot be pursued;it must ensue…as the unintended side-effect one’s personal dedication to a course greater than oneself.” Please follow and like us:
