Quote from Byron Katie:
When you do The Work, you see who you are by seeing who you think other people are. Eventually you come to see that everything outside you is a reflection of your own thinking. You are the storyteller, the projector of all stories, and the world is the projected image of your thoughts.

Ayn Rand
Roark: "I don't make comparisons. I never think of myself in relation to anyone else. I just refuse to measure myself as part of anything. I'm an utter egotist.

How would you feel if you had no fear? Feel like that. How would you behave toward other people if you realized their powerlessness to hurt you? Behave like that. How would your react to so-called misfortune if you saw its inability to bother you? React like that. How would you think toward yourself if you knew you were really all right? Think like that.

Ray Bradbury
"Oh, Little Blue Engine," cried the dolls and toys. "Will you pull us over the mountain? Our engine has broken down and the boys and girls on the other side won't have any toys to play with or good food to eat, unless you help us. Please, please, let us, Little Blue Engine." "I'm not very big," said the Little Blue Engine. "They use me only for switching trains in the yard. I have never been over the mountains." ... Puff, puff, chug, chug, went the Little Blue Engine. "I think I can--I think I can--I think can--I think can--I think I can--I think can--I think can--I think I can--I think can--I think can."
Morpheus
Don't think you are, know you are.
John Eliot, Ph.D.
