Thoughts
Enough doubting your capabilities, now doubt your weaknesses.
अर्जुन का निशाना मछली की आँख था, द्रौपदी की वरमाला नहीं.
Is that your experience or is that your conditioning?
In previous generations, you were real instinctively and you had to put in effort to be fake. Today, you are incentivized to be fake, and have to consciously put in effort to stay real.
Passion ensures visibility.
Desire to belong, often overpowers desire to improve - so watch out.

Grass doesn't try to grow, it just grows. Fish don't try to swim, they just swim. Flowers don't try to bloom, they bloom. Birds don't try to fly, they fly. This is their intrinsic nature. The earth doesn't try to spin on its own axis; it is the nature of the earth to spin with dizzying speed and to hurtle through space. It is the nature of babies to be in bliss. It is the nature of the sun to shine. It is the nature of the stars to glitter and sparkle. And it is human nature to make our dreams manifest into physical form, easily and effortlessly.
Do not confuse understanding with larger vocabulary.

No one will always tell you.
They won't always tell you that you were the loud disturbing force the other day. They won't always tell you that something you do or say makes them uncomfortable. They won't always be able to speak out when you're getting what you want out of a relationship or friendship but they're not. You may say "Not my problem!". But social truth is that it is your job to be self-aware and perceive or anticipate the feelings of others around you. They won't tell you, but eventually they'll stop being as close to you.
Change is inevitable, growth is intentional.
When you love someone, you are not afraid of losing them. Love is fearless.

Detachment means that your state of mind doesn't influence my state of mind. I am able to remain who I am. It's only in a detached state that you can experience unconditional love and respect for a person. Unconditional love means that my love does not depend on any condition.
Detachment = Unconditional love
Attachment = Conditional love
The elephant is the strongest animal in the jungle, not the lion. The cheetah is the fastest, not the lion. Apes and monkeys are among the smartest, again, not the lion. Yet, lion is the king- because of the mindset.
If you treat them like a celebrity, they'll treat you like a fan.

Go the extra mile, it's never crowded.
Violent delights have violent ends.

A calm mind, a fit body, and a house full of love - cannot be bought, they must be earned.
Money cannot buy back wasted time.
Once you get deep enough into any field of science, it stops making intuitive sense. That is because our intuition is evolved to work only for the human scale world view.
