The skill of the twenty-first century could be said to be the ability to learn, unlearn, and relearn. Unlearning is required when the conversations we revert to no longer work, or the world has changed so completely that they are now holding us back. There is no right place to begin, and we may not know what to do or how to do it, but the pull is there to move what we see or imagine as possible into action.

By defending your circumstances as they are right now, you are actually making a case for being where you are. Give it up.

“Reality” is a phenomenon that arises in language. Language is both the ultimate reality and the medium through which reality is brought forth—there is no reality “per se,” no fixed reality. There’s only how we see it, how we say it is—it’s interpretation all the way down. It’s language—what we say (with and about others, ourselves, and the world at large) that constitutes who we are.

In simple terms, the language you use to describe your circumstances determines how you see, experience, and participate in them and dramatically affects how you deal with your life and confront problems both big and small.

We construct realities and then forget we were the ones who constructed them. When our relationship with reality has a kind of “is-ness” or “fixed-ness” to it, it limits what’s possible and allows only for options like explaining, trying to fix, resisting, or accepting.

"In Sanskrit, there is a word—vichara: to develop insight into how things are. And that insight sets you free. Not so much faith in a deity, not even extraordinary mystical experiences."
Swami Sarvapriyananda

"Spirituality must be distinguished from religion—because people of every faith, and of none, have had the same sorts of spiritual experiences. While these states of mind are usually interpreted through the lens of one or another religious doctrine, we know that this is a mistake. Nothing that a Christian, a Muslim, and a Hindu can experience—self-transcending love, ecstasy, bliss, inner light—constitutes evidence in support of their traditional beliefs, because their beliefs are logically incompatible with one another. A deeper principle must be at work."
from "Waking Up: A Guide to Spirituality Without Religion" by Sam Harris

"Eat at a local restaurant tonight. Get the cream sauce. Have a cold pint at 4 o’clock in a mostly empty bar. Go somewhere you’ve never been. Listen to someone you think may have nothing in common with you. Order the steak rare. Eat an oyster. Have a negroni. Have two. Be open to a world where you may not understand or agree with the person next to you, but have a drink with them anyways. Eat slowly. Tip your server. Check in on your friends. Check in on yourself. Enjoy the ride."
Anthony Bourdain

Reality is only a consensual hunch.
