Quote by Douglas Adams

“So, the world is fine. We don’t have to save the world—the world is big enough to look after itself. What we have to be concerned about, is whether or not the world we live in, will be capable of sustaining us in it. That’s what we need to think about.”

“Sometimes while I ride the subway I try to look at each person and imagine what they look like to someone who is totally in love with them. I think everyone has had someone look at them that way, whether it was a lover, or a parent, or a friend, whether they know it or not. It's a wonderful thing, to look at someone to whom I would never be attracted and think about what looking at them feels like to someone who is devouring every part of their image, who has invisible strings that are connected to this person tied to every part of their body. I think this fun pastime is a way of cultivating compassion. It feels good to think about people that way, and to use that part of my mind that I think is traditionally reserved for a tiny portion of people I'll meet in my life to appreciate the general public. I wish I thought about people like this more often. I think it's the opposite of what our culture teaches us to do. We prefer to pick people apart to find their flaws. Cultivating these feelings of love or appreciation for random people, and even for people I don't like, makes me a more forgiving and appreciative person toward myself and people I love. Also, it's just a really excellent pastime.”

“Forgiving them is like hitting the reset button on your soul's remote control. It's tough to navigate through the channels of hurt and anger, but once you find that forgiveness channel, it's like tuning into the most soothing melody. Sure, it's a bit of a rocky road, but hey, life's about finding the right frequency, right? So, grab that remote, flick away the grudges, and let forgiveness be your favorite show. Who knows, it might just become a binge-worthy series you never want to turn off!”

“You deserve the world, yet you settled for less. It's time to forgive yourself for entertaining the nonsense & start realizing your true worth. It's time to have that heart-to-heart with yourself and apologize for putting up with what was never worth your energy. Let go of the past drama & dive headfirst into a journey of self-love & empowerment. You owe yourself that long-overdue apology & a promise to put your happiness first. It's time to reclaim your power. Let's show the world what you're made of!”
