(smart + people-pleasing) people particularly run into this, because they got so good at feeling whatever they needed to feel, they couldn’t stop doing the “sugarcoating” thing. https://t.co/r1il3EzJ1I

There’s a similar version of this going on with Discipline, Happiness, Motivation—all of those. We have a tortured relationship with the Thing. And so we know, to naïvely chase after it, 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘶𝘴, would not be right. https://t.co/m6tNs91xE0

Their reality had no oomph to it, because they didn’t know what it meant to feel, outside the context of “this is optimal to feel for the reason of something else.” https://t.co/phoTS2kDM1

We are looking for a reality with an oomph to it. Focusing, and truly /feeling/ yes, this /is/ my actual felt experience now, is something else. https://t.co/z16T2zvYKz

the hardest lesson of all for people who grew their life thinking they’re smart is humility because everytime they try to learn, it becomes yet another way to show how smart they are

What if this moment was more powerfully *who I am* than when I am in control? What if I could want something and still not be able to get it? I am hapless. I am as I am. [this is the tantra book] https://t.co/lIvnjmLU2N https://t.co/GxMrm3wuqG
