The only way to free a people is to enlighten their minds, to teach them how their world could be if they understood the lies they’ve learned from the cradle. For this reason, those in power always silence those who speak the truth.

Anxiety uses imagination to picture something you don’t want. Vision uses imagination to picture something you DO want. Either way, you tend to get what you focus on. Imagine a future where you shine, others thrive, and the light of hope shines brighter in the world. If you can see it, you can be it.

We must live this moment intensely. One day you might look back and think: Wow, those days were great! I lived, I really lived. I listened to good music, watched magic sunsets, had a blast with nature, and I was dancing in the rain.

The Buddha didn’t praise those who merely believe others, he praised the person who knows within himself.

Because sometimes you can't be who you really are; cause in that moment it may not be safe to be who you truly are...

Put your hand on a stove for a minute & it feels like an hour, Sit with a beautiful girl for a hour & it feels like an minute. This is how Albert Einstein defined Relativity,

But I believe that youth is relativity. That you could spend your 20s inching along safe in social constructs, Or you could spend your days in new towns, new places, with new faces, chasing new destinations,

So do you live your youth slow & painful? Or fast & free?

This is the theory of youth. (Book Coming Soon)

We need to get away from this idea that everyone should like us and what we do, or else there must be something wrong with us. If you make a painting, make it so that you like it, and just keep working on it until you do. And then, the right people will like it too, and who cares about the rest.

The unreal is more powerful than the real. Because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it. Because its only intangible ideas, concepts, beliefs, fantasies that last. Stone crumbles. Wood rots. People, well, they die. But things as fragile as a thought, a dream, a legend, they can go on and on. If you can change the way people think. The way they see themselves. The way they see the world. You can change the way people live their lives. That’s the only lasting thing you can create.

I’m almost never serious, and I’m always too serious. Too deep, too shallow. Too sensitive, too cold-hearted. I’m like a collection of paradoxes.
