Not long ago, when I was a student in college, just flying an airplane seemed a dream. But that dream turned into reality.
The essence of that which is like unto itself, is drawn.
Use your imagination until your big dream feels so familiar that its manifestation is the next logical step.
Think about where you're going and never mind where you've been. Don't spend any more time justifying any of that stuff.
When you feel gratitude, you are the closest to the natural state you were born to live in.
So the big question is, "Well, do I just dump all those unwanted things and try to start fresh?" And we say, no. You just set the Tone, where you are, by looking for things to appreciate. And by setting your Tone in a very clear deliberate way, anything that doesn't match it gravitates out of your experience, and anything that does match it gravitates into your experience. It is so much simpler than most of you are allowing yourself to believe.
That is the optimal creative vantage point: To stand on the brink of what is coming, feeling eager, optimistic anticipation-with no feeling of impatience, doubt, or unworthiness hindering the receiving of it-that is the Science of Deliberate Creation at its best.
I love humanity but I hate people.
I just watch a lot of different films and different TV shows. Really for me, it's just looking at how people react to different shows in different genres. For me, it's more a study of people than a study of acting.
Actual patriotism has to do with loving a place enough to try and improve it.
To live well and honorably and justly are the same thing.
