Often, the price for not being present is pain. Now, - Kamal Ravikant

If I loved myself truly and deeply, would I let myself experience this?

If you had a thought once, it has no power over you. Repeat it again and again, especially with emotional intensity, feeling it, and over time, you're creating the grooves, the mental river. Then it controls you.

I used to have these fantasies of going away for long periods, being still, learning from within. But here’s what I learned: the insights that we receive when away, they are useless unless we live them. And that happens in the world, with our relationships, our self-expression, our dreams, this crazy beautiful planet we get to walk briefly. The insights we receive when going silent, it’s our gift to ourselves. Returning and living them, sharing them, that is our gift to the world.
