Join 📚 Jim's Highlights
A batch of the best highlights from what Jim's read, .
Once again, I repeat: we are not our thoughts. We are the awareness the thoughts are arising to and within. Most thoughts don’t matter, and some thoughts really don’t matter. Every moment we invest in our unwanted thoughts, every ounce of energy we put into trying to disprove them, is a morsel of time and energy wasted. We are validating and strengthening what’s insignificant—a strange, albeit noisy blip in a flawed system.
