“We don’t receive wisdom; we must discover it for ourselves after a journey that no one can take for us or spare us.” – Marcel Proust, In Search of Lost Time

“To desire something is in proper accordance with the law. You attract what you desire. To need something is misuse of the law. You cannot attract what you need if you feel you need it urgently or desperately, because that emotion contains fear. That kind of “needing” keeps things away. Desire everything. Need nothing.” – Rhonda Byrne, The Secret Daily Teachings

“The tighter you try and hold on to something that you are afraid of losing, the more you are pushing it away. Those thoughts are filled with fear, and if you continue to persist, what you fear the most will come upon you. Fear nothing – just think about what you want. It feels so much better!” – Rhonda Byrne, The Secret Daily Teachings
