Quote by Steve Maraboli

“I didn’t “grow” wise, spiritual, or happy.. I shrunk towards it. I didn’t add; I subtracted… There is wisdom in simplification… There is strength in recognizing that life is too short for nonsense… You find yourself spending time with people who make you laugh… Those who make you feel loved.. Simplify your life.. .that’s where happiness is found.”

Humans are fundamentally limited, generalising creatures, living on auto-pilot, who straighten out curved streets in their minds, which explains why they get lost all the time.”

“...All of these writings could be reduced to mere “thought-provoking content,” for the system devours everything in its path like a never-satisfied monster—even its own “critics,” or perhaps especially its “critics.” The system sells even its own “resistance,” which is why “counterculture” is, in fact, bound to and created by the very thing it claims to oppose.”
