In order to respond when you say "Okay, Google" or "Hey, Siri," your phone has to be listening to every word you say. You realise that, right? Just want to make sure you're okay with your phone listening in on everything you say.

"Think and grow rich." "Positive thinking." "Possibility thinking." How's that working out for ya? Could it be that thinking isn't the right tool for the job of personal ontological change?

Adapting to the circumstances means that some old prejudices need to fall away. Even religious practices can evolve. Even for the better.

Did you know that, just like the moon has a "dark" side that never faces the earth, earth has an "ocean" side that is almost entirely water? 

How could anyone think that we know this planet when most of the ocean is unexplored - and most of the planet is ocean? 

Is this a metaphor for how much we know as a species and as individuals?

Shadows that are kept in the dark only grow larger and darker. Don't hide your shadow. We all have them.

What's easy to do is also, by definition, easy not to do. So, what are you gonna do?

Why do some people care so much to make sure that you know they don't care what you think about them? It's because they really, really care what you think of them, of course. If you really don't care, you don't care if people don't know that you don't care.

Loving yourself means loving all facets of yourself. The toughness you acquire from living life and the wide-eyed innocence you perhaps quickly tried to leave behind can coexist; can actually live together powerfully in you.

We learn a lot of things when we're young. Mostly from our parents. Growing up means knowing which lessons to hold dear - and which to let go off!

What's better, an ideal situation that never comes into existence, or a good-enough experience that happens on a regular basis? Duh, right? Which one are you aiming for in your life, work and relationships?
