“We have all been hypnotized into thinking that we are smaller than we are. Just as an undersized flowerpot keeps a mighty tree root-bound or a little fishbowl keeps goldfish tiny, we have adapted, adjusted, and accommodated to a Lilliputian life. But place the same tree in an open field or the fish in a lake, and they will grow to hundreds of times their size. Unlike the tree or goldfish, you are not dependent on someone else to move you. You have the power to move yourself. You can step into a broader domain and grow to your full potential.” ThinkingLittlesMovingGrowsStepsTreeFieldsRootsBoundsSizeFishesTinyDependentLakesDomainAdaptedFull PotentialGoldfishOpen Fields Book:Why Your Life Sucks: And What You Can Do About It Source: Why Your Life Sucks: And What You Can Do About It

I think of consciousness as a bottomless lake, whose waters seem transparent, yet into which we can clearly see but a little way.” ThinkingWayLittlesWholeSeemsPastWaterConsciousnessExperienceDepthLakesTransparentPast Experiences Book:Collected papers of Charles Sanders Peirce Source: Collected papers of Charles Sanders Peirce
