We've been trained to prefer being right to learning something, to prefer passing the test to making a difference, and most of all to prefer fitting in with the right people

More quotes by Seth
It is not virtuous in any way to put yourself down, or to punish yourself, because you do not feel you have lived up to your best behavior at any given time.
Seth
If you are love with the perfect, prepare to see it swept away. If you are able to dream of the impossible, it just might happen.
Seth
We've discovered that the earth isn't flat that we won't fall off its edges, and our experience as a species has changed as a result. Maybe we'll soon find out that the self isn't flat either, and that death is as real and yet as deceptive as the horizon that we don't fall out of life either.
Seth
What could you measure? What would that cost? How fast could you get the results? If you can afford it, try it. If you measure it, it will improve.
Seth
People do not buy goods and services. They buy relations, stories and magic.
Seth
There's a huge difference between the shallow pleasure of instant applause and the long-lasting impact of true connection.
Seth
Leaps look good in the movies, but in fact, success is mostly about finding a path and walking it one step at a time.
Seth
Now: For those of you who are lazy I can offer no hope: death will not bring you an eternal resting place. You may rest, if this is your wish, for a while. Not only must you use your abilities after death, however, but you must face up to yourself for those that you did not use during your previous existence.
Seth
It is very important that you express your idealism actively, to what ever extent you can, for this increases your sense of worth and power.
Seth
You create your reality. You will find this freedom by learning to look inward, and by realizing that you create the reality that you know. There are no exceptions to this rule. Your successes and your failures alike, you have yourselves created. If you would but understand, this is the truth that would make you free.
Seth
On the other hand technology brings within your reach the great therapy of music this activates the inner living cells of your body, stimulates the energy of the inner self and helps to unite the conscious mind with the other portions of your being.
Seth
Giving your team cover for their cowardice is foolish. Give them a platform for bravery instead.
Seth
There is no other way to change your physical reality but by changing your thoughts.
Seth
People claim that love is the deepest feeling, but don't you believe it. Loneliness is the most affecting of human emotions. Nothing makes life more vivid. If you wish to live in the moment, I recommend intense loneliness.
Seth
When your ideas about yourself change, so does your experience.
Seth
The people who successfully start independent businesses (franchises, I think are a different thing) do it because we have no real choice in the matter. The voice in our heads won't shut up until we discover if we're right, if we can do it, if we can make something happen. This is an art, our art, and to leave it bottled up is a crime.
Seth
If you want to know what you think of yourself, then ask yourself what you think of others and you will find the answer.
Seth
You know something is important when you're willing to let someone else take the credit if that's what it takes to get it done.
Seth
As I have told you before, in a manner of speaking you are given the gifts of gods. Your beliefs become reality. What you believe is, and becomes real in your experience. There is no area in your life to which this does not apply.
Seth
Do not place the words of ANYONE above the feelings of your own being. You can learn much from others, but the deepest knowledge must come from within yourself.
Seth
