men italian looks
[Italian men] are like show poodles. Sometimes they look so good I want to applaud.
healing solitude looks
This was my moment to look for the kind of healing and peace that can only come from solitude.
heart humility looks
you must stop looking at the world through your head. You must look through your heart, instead.
destiny looks amusement
Absolute certainty is not something I strive for anymore. I've learned the hard way that destiny usually looks upon our most strident convictions with amusement, or perhaps even pity.

Admittedly, I am not the one who looks fantastic in everything, but still I cannot help loving myself.
men hands looks
When a man who looks like Yoda hands you a prophecy, you have to respond.

The Bhagavad Gita—that ancient Indian Yogic text—says that it is better to live your own destiny imperfectly than to live an imitation of somebody else’s life with perfection. So now I have started living my own life. Imperfect and clumsy as it may look, it is resembling me now, thoroughly.

Listen - of course money changes everything, but so does sunlight, and so does food: These are powerful but neutral energy sources, neither inherently good nor evil but shaped only by the way we use them.
believe days keeping percent sure time
These days I settle for feeling only 85 percent sure about most things, most of the time. I believe this is keeping me sane, and I also believe that it's keeping me human. In fact, I'm 85 percent sure of it.
cannot honestly lose might relate source work
You know, even I have had work or ideas come through me from a source that I honestly cannot identify. And what is that thing? And how are we to relate to it in a way that will not make us lose our minds, but, in fact, might actually keep us sane?
