“Too many people do jobs they don’t like, in fields they don’t care about, to get slips of paper with dead presidents to buy things they don’t need for women they don’t love for the hope of a marriage that wont last and children they wont see.

“If you care for your mind, if you nurture it and if you cultivate it just like a fertile, rich garden, it will blossom far beyond your expectations… Yet look at the toxic waste most people put into the fertile garden of their minds every single day: the worries and anxieties, the fretting about the past, the brooding over the future and those self-created fears that wreak havoc within your inner world.”
