Just read a fascinating study on these fish, the cichlids (si·kluhd). Check it out here:

Fun and Natural
“Fifteen minutes of fun exercise each day is the equivalent of one anti-depressant.”
Shawn Achor, The Happiness Advantage
Self-Determination
“There’s a difference between blaming someone else for your situation and that person’s actually being responsible for your situation. Nobody is ever responsible for your situation but you….This is because you always get to choose how you see things, how you react to things, how you value things. You always get to choose the metric by which to measure your experiences.”
Mark Manson, “The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck”
Le Corps
Don’t ever – ever – take your health for granted.
Form dissolves over time. It is inevitable. But take care of your body as much as you can because it’s the only vehicle for your soul.
The “Thought” Experiment
I’ve realized that when I start my sentences with:
I wish…
I hope…
If only…
I’m worried…
that I set myself up for suffering (worry, disappointment, sadness and even anger). So I’m going to stop saying those things and catch myself when I think them. The way to true inner peace is to accept reality. And only when you have inner peace can you help others. This is an optimum time to try this as my father is in the hospital very ill right now.

Self-Ignition
“We all walk in the dark and each of us must learn to turn on his or her own light.”
Earl Nightingale
Why Worry?
“Worrying is problem-causing.”
Eckhart Tolle

“You’re angry because you have an anger consciousness that is touched like a little red button that causes it to blow up within yourself, but the anger is already within…”
Eric Butterworth
Tension is a Choice
“Stress is an alarm clock that lets you know you’re attached to something not true for you.”
Byron Katie
Current State of Humanity
“Complaining is one of the ego’s favorite strategies for strengthening itself. Every complaint is a little story the mind makes up that you completely believe in. Whether you complain aloud or only in thought makes no difference.”
Eckhart Tolle
