Gu has the best thing in the world—a mind-blowing, healthy, strong, vibrant, and incredibly beautiful body, an amazing job, a new certification, the Pacific Ocean literally next door, and plenty of beautiful and varied things...
Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, and each person lives in their own reality, seeing the world a little differently than everyone else. So, probably, after my comedy class, I somehow managed to open up in a way that the boundaries of my reality dissolved, and Amanda’s reality began to seep into mine.
It’s worth remembering as often as possible that (so to speak) destructive thoughts like “What terrible traffic,” “No one loves me,” “I’m so sick,” work just as effectively as any constructive thoughts. They work even better when accompanied by strong emotions and sensations.
Actually, everything I'm going to write about has long been written and said many times in various forms. I won't say anything new for the world. But all of this is new to me.

Los Angeles is beautiful, full of magical promises, but you must approach it much like a spoiled movie star: admire it, but don’t open your heart to it. Los Angeles is a tough city and does not forgive mistakes. Only in places like the Getty Center can I truly be myself.
Osho once elaborated quite well in one of his books (and it's known that most, if not all, of his books are nothing but transcripts of his speeches) about how "The giver should be grateful." He gave an example of a rich man who brought a bag of money to some guru.
