The definition of cool is not reacting to the same stuff most people react to.
 

The reason people have problems – any problems, weight problems, money problems, depression, drug problems, is because they do not want to feel something.
 

Making a living using your mind is a wonderful thing. But the sense of satisfaction and accomplishment from doing manual labor all day — painting a room, doing some landscaping, framing a building — well, that’s a good feeling.
 

Some people totally get me. And some people never will. It’s just chemistry, not something personal.
 

In order to listen, you have to be genuinely curious about what the other person has to say. If you’re not curious, you probably should not be in a close relationship with that person.

People interchange the word "science" or "scientific" for "truth". And they are not the same thing.
 

Lots of people are disconnected from how they feel. Men and women. There’s a reason why we have such a profound depth of feelings. It’s what makes us human. We have this gift to guide us through our lives. But most people have been taught to shut their feelings down. They’ve associated feeling things with pain. Men have been taught that to feel is unmanly; a feminine quality. And if they refuse to feel the truth that’s inside them, they live lives of quiet desperation.
 

People who are busy all the time are scared of what would happen if they slowed down.
 

Most people who reject the notion of God were force-fed some type of religious belief when they were younger. They were taught to believe or to practice something that did not resonate with them.

If you don’t give with a true sense of joy, don’t bother giving.
 

Logic has its limits. And people who worship logic all the time tend to suffer in their happiness and relationships.
 

Sure, it’s important to learn how to lose. But if you’re not playing to win, perhaps you should look into playing a different game.
 

If you want something — anything — you have to ask for it first. Most people have been taught not to ask for very much. And then they wonder why they do not have very much.
 

Some days, I just feel like crying. The less I resist feeling sad, the quicker the feeling passes.
 

One definition of being a man is that you handle your business.
