Memorable Quotes

“There’s a difference between imagining something that you want and experiencing yourself as the person for whom it is already fulfilled.”

“What happens when you imagine your desire? Are you experiencing its fulfillment, or are you experiencing yourself wanting it? It seems like a two-millimeter distinction, but that’s everything.”

“You don’t need to turn this into another reason to criticize yourself because you’re not doing it perfectly. You can notice the doubt and return to the experience you’ve chosen, to the place from which you want to live.”
