You can stop trying to earn God’s approval

The best way to maintain close relationships is through everyday talk. Don't just reduce conversations to logistics such as what to have for dinner.

When you ask, "How are you?" you have actually to listen to the answer. You can't assume that you already know what's going on.

The only way to stop identifying yourself with your thoughts is to stop following through on all your thoughts ✋ . Instead, decide to live in the present moment—where you don’t have time to think, only to experience.

You can trust yourself to make sharp decisions in areas where you already have proven expertise.

For everything else, the only way to discover what works is to adopt a philosophy of experimentation.
