If you limit your choices only to what seems possible or reasonable, you disconnect yourself from what you truly want, and all that is left is compromise.

The path of least resistance and least trouble is a mental rut already made. It requires troublesome work to undertake the alternation of old beliefs.

We get so identified with an idea that it is literally a pet notion and we rise to its defense and stop our eyes and ears to anything different.
