2951. Sushi (actually) has a natural sweetness to
it . . . that is, if it’s not drowned out by soy sauce and/or wasabi;
2952. I know one of the cofounders of (the now
defunct) “Consumption Junction;”
2953. The Cuban sandwich at La Carreta Café
(LaCarreta.com) (in the Miami airport of all places) is pretty tasty;
2954. Hunan Number One (HunanOne.com) (in
Clarendon) has a pretty good crowd;
2955. Wawa’s (Wawa.com) chicken noodle soup is pretty
tasty;
2956. I can say I’ve “christened” the men’s room
in Carr’s Hill (i.e., the president’s house at the University of Virginia);
2957. Katie Couric is (actually) pretty funny;
2958. When Katie Couric smiles, she reminds me of
Robbie (smiling);
2959. Apparently, 150 people a year are killed
from falling coconuts. That’s 15 times
the number of deaths attributed to sharks;
2960. Sylvia’s Pizza is now Christian’s Pizza
(www.ChristiansPizza.com) (in “The Corner” district) in Charlottesville, Virginia;
2961. I can say I’ve had breakfast with Katie
Couric (sort of);
2962. Modern (college) dorms are way nicer than
most of the (apartment) complexes I’ve lived in (specifically the “new” new
dorms at the University of Virginia);
2963. I can finally say I’ve had Crozet Pizza
(CPBBB.com). . . . It’s pretty good;
2964. Our beliefs as a people determine what we
eventually see;
2965. You come into this world with a dharma, a
life purpose, choices to make – how do you know when you are doing what you are
here to do? You feel good. How do you know which path to take? Choose based on your excitement, how it
makes you feel. You feel good when you
are doing what you are here to do. It’s
who you really are;
2966. There are really only two emotions – fear and
love. When we are in fear, there is no
room for love; when we’re in love, there is no room for fear;
2967. The elevator to success is out of
order. You’ll have to use the stairs .
. . one step at a time;
2968. Shaving with a dull razor versus a sharp one
is like night and day;
2969. It’s kind of weird driving behind a car
without any exhaust pipes (specifically the Tesla Model S);
2970. Megan loves steak;
2971. “Power” yoga (pretty much) means a lot of
downward-facing dog;
2972. Show respect before teasing;
2973. A drop of experience is worth a bucket full
of knowledge;
2974. Stop focusing on what you don’t want and
start focusing on what you do want. . . . Whatever you look for, you’ll find;
2975. I cannot fail. I can only learn and grow;
2976. Be the light bulb not the moth;
2977. Be the gatekeeper of your own mind;
2978. It’s not about the idea of being better than
another person. It’s about being
mature, confident and secure in yourself;
2979. Parents are not for leaning upon, but rather
exist to make leaning unnecessary;
2980. If someone comes at you in a judgmental way
and you judge them for it, you just doubled the amount of judgment in the space
you’re both in;
2981. An eye for an eye makes the whole world
blind;
2982. Who I used to be or what I used to do, does
not shape who I am or what I do today;
2983. We become what we think about, like it or
not. If we think in terms of judgment
and criticism and competitiveness, we’re going to attract more of the same into
our lives;
2984. If we have constant thoughts of negativity,
we will only find more negativity showing up in our lives. In order to see things change, we have to
change the way we think about things;
2985. As the Abraham-Hicks teachings say, stop
telling it like it is and start telling it like you want it to be. Life isn’t happening to you, it is
responding to you;
2986. You can’t please everyone. When you’re too focused on living up to
other people’s standards, you aren’t spending enough time raising your
own. Some people may whisper, complain,
and judge. But for the most part, it’s
all in your head. People care less
about your actions than you think.
Why? They have their own
problems!
2987. You must first love yourself and be filled
with love in order to be able to give it away.
Once you are filled with that love and it is all that you have inside of
you, then that is all that you will have to give away;
2988. What you keep inside you is what you will
have to give away. And once you truly
understand and practice this idea, then it will become your own personal habit;
2989. Bring to all of your endeavors what you
would most like to receive;
2990. Bring kindness to every encounter,
regardless of whether you were the recipient of kindness; give away what you
have inside and it would be returned to you.
It’s the Law of Attraction;
2991. You must decide to be filled with joy, and
this is what you will bring to every encounter – this is what you will give
away. And guess what? This is what you will see returning to you
as well. But if you bring your own
sadness to what you think of as a sad or unhappy occasion, you will simply be
doubling the amount of negativity, and then blaming the person or the nature of
the event for your own discontent;
2992. When we hide whom we really are in order to
fit in or belong, we are suffocating our souls. Our true calling may pass us by while we’re trying to make other
people happy;
2993. We cannot experience peace if our inner
dialogue is always at war with itself.
A mind at war with itself – which is another way of saying a mind that
rejects its true calling, its own nature and body – is a mind that cannot
experience eternal gentleness;
2994. The two most important days in your life are
the day you were born, and the day you find out why;
2995. No one can find his/her purpose by
attempting to be just like everybody else or to attempt to live out someone
else’s idea of what that purpose ought to be;
2996. Do not always pull verbally;
2997. Kristin is a golfer;
2998. Pro(fessional) golfers are (pretty) tall;
2999. In a fight, never confuse a noncombatant
with a loser;
3000. What do you do if you don’t have a toothbrush? The answer is: Try eating an apple, celery, radishes, carrots, broccoli and/or cucumbers. . . . All of these foods are excellent at freshening your mouth. Eat them at the end of a meal or after a snack;
