People don’t complete us. We complete ourselves. If we haven’t the power to complete ourselves,

the search for love becomes a search for self-annihilation, and then we try to convince ourselves that self-annihilation is love.

If we wish to attract different people, different circumstances and different events, we have to change the content of our conscious minds. We can dramatically improve the quality of our lives by taking control of our minds and manufacturing beliefs and expectations consistent with what we want to happen in the future.

If you only read the books that everyone else is reading, you can only think what everyone else is thinking.

“One of the most significant negative habits we should be aware of is that of constantly allowing our mind to run off into the future. Perhaps we got this from our parents. Carried away by our worries, we’re unable to live fully and happily in the present. Deep down, we believe we can’t really be happy just yet—that we still have a few more boxes to be checked off before we can really enjoy life.”

Ko se odpirava

ti tebe meni

in jaz mene tebi.

Ko potoneva

vame ti in vate jaz.

Ko premineva

ti v meni in v tebi jaz.

Takrat sem jaz, jaz

in si ti, ti.

Ljubimo samo enkrat

in edinkrat.

Ko ljubimo, 

tega ne vemo,

ker šele odkrivamo.

“Mom, listen, I haven’t been together with Topanga for 22 years, but we have been together for 16. That’s a lot longer than most couples have been together. I mean, when we were born, you told me that we used to take walks in our strollers together around the block. When we were two, we were best friends. I mean, I knew everything about this girl. I knew her favorite color, her favorite food. Then we became six, Eric made fun of me because it wasn’t cool to have a best friend that was a girl or even know a girl. So for the next seven years I threw dirt at her. I like to call those “the lost years”. Then when I was thirteen, mom, she put me up against my locker and she kissed me. I mean, she gave me my first kiss. She taught me how to dance. She always was talking about these crazy things and I never understood a word she said. All I understood was that she was the girl I sat up every night thinking about, and when I’m with her, I feel happy to be alive. Like I can do anything. Even talk to you like this. So that’s, that’s what I think is love, mom. When I’m better because she’s here.”

''Lollipops turn into cigarettes. The innocent ones turn into sluts. Homework goes in the trash. Soda becomes vodka. Bikes become cars. Kisses turn into sex. Remember when getting high meant swinging at the playground? When protection meant waring a helmet? Dad's shoulders were the highest place on earth. The most pain you felt was when you scraped your knees. Goodbyes were only until tomorrow. We couldn't even wait to grow up."

Life is as it is in this moment, and it's powerful to be able to accept that. Yet just because you accept what is, here and now, doesn't mean you must be resigned to letting it stay that way.

Yes, you can accept even those things you don't agree with or approve of. It is your acceptance of reality that positions you to change and to improve upon that reality.

Accept the moment, and find great value in it. Accept the situation, whatever it may be, and enable yourself to move positively forward from it.

It can be tempting to simply avoid or deny the truth. Eventually, though, you must accept and deal with the truth, and the sooner you choose to do so, the better.

Visualization can be a powerful tool, yet merely pretending that something is true does not make it so. Visualize the way you desire for life to be, and accept that you must work to make it so.

Accept and embrace the reality of what is. Then take it and make it the best it can be.
