I create my own reality, which is subjective.I realize that I'm here to make my own "music", sing my "songs" and dance my "dance" and to do my own thing.I learned that I am a walking bundle of "programs".I learned that believing and being myself is important, but it's also the hardest thing to do.I realize that I am ignorant of 99.9% of the Ocean of available knowledge which is exploding.

Things are always not what they seem to be.Happiness can only be found within me, not outside of me.Happiness is a choice.Seeing is not believing, believing is seeing.Every 'negative' thing that happened to me always turned out to be a blessing in disguise.The underlying motive for everything that we do is for love, yet we don't show or give enough of it.

The more I discover, the more I realize there is to be discovered.Dreams have meaning when I give them meaning.The only person I am responsible and accountable for is myself, because I have to live with me 24/7 until my last breath.All interpersonal issues with others is never about them, it's always about the way I see myself.

Anger does not solve anything.Nobody can makes me angry but they can trigger my prevailing turbulence.Many people do not listen carefully so allow them to misunderstand for the moment.Do not reason with depressed people. You are assuming they are logical.I have to feel 'good' now to continue to enjoy 'goodness' in the future.Courage is acting against Fear not feeling no fear to start off with.

Do not hang on to something out of Fear. When you let them go, you free the space for Love.Do not compromise your clarity just because people around you are not clear.When you run too fast, you may drop your coins.Patience means not running out of your mind or character while waiting.Only help people who are worthy to be helped. Otherwise you are making them worse.

Nothing is permanent ( including this list ).Things fail when it is not design to evolve with changes.One can reduces one's ignorance by learning more about oneself and the World around us.Sharing what I discover about myself and the World around me is intellectual philanthropy.There is power when one knows one can be wrong.

There is always more than one way of seeing and doing things.Listen to people who have unpopular views.Do one's own thinking.If one does not make choices, choices make one.Connecting the disconnects.
