By worrying a lot, we become a nation of worries.

We live at home, quiet, confined, and our feelings prey upon us.

We are so accustomed to disguise ourselves to others, that in the end, we become disguised to ourselves.

How small we make our worlds. Gather them in, tighten them up into little castles of fear.

Worry is a habit. It got into your mind because you practiced it, and anything you practice in, you can practice out.

Too many people prefer to stay inside their own comfort zones with a one-sided liberal or conservative sentiment, creating their own information silos.

Your inner wisdom is your friend, and it lives inside the calm security of your Comfort Zone.

Living inside our Comfort Zone frees us and allows us to stay in the flow. By giving ourselves permission to be who we are, we gain the freedom to make choices that are rooted in our purpose.

We have become so accustomed to our illusions that we mistake them for reality.

For too long, we have allowed fear to dictate our politics and suspicions, to shape how we perceive other communities.

Where do one's fears come from? Where do they shape themselves? Where do they hide before coming out into the open?

We've got an agreeable, comfortable life here as Americans. But under it there's a huge, free-floating anxiety. Our inner lives, our inner landscape is just like that sky out there — it's full of smog. We really don't know what we believe anymore, we're nervous about everything.

We may act sophisticated and worldly but I believe we feel safest when we go inside ourselves and find home, a place where we belong and maybe the only place we really do.

our real fears are the sounds of footsteps walking in the corridors of our minds, and the anxieties, the phantom floatings, they create.
