Let the zeitgeist happen...
and the knowledge matures within you.
You don’t have to follow the times, but it is wise to understand it.
Now, at this moment, without thoughts of the future.
The second becomes shorter in the blink of an eye.
While stars fall from the sky and you kiss me.
It dissolves and comes as a wave on the seas
As a minute back.

“Only those who have the patience to do simple things perfectly will acquire the skill to do difficult things easily.”
“Live with your century, but do not be its creature.”
“Man only plays when he is in the fullest sense of the word a human being, and he is only fully a human being when he plays.”
“Our dreams, our longings, and our vibrant hopes deserve to be taken seriously and considered important.
Whoever suppresses them stifles the best within themselves and becomes an empty person.”
~ Friedrich von Schiller

Here's 5 traits of people who don't have many friends:
1. They're ok with being alone: they don't need to spend time with people to not be with their own thoughts. They enjoy their own company and doing things at their own pace and rhythm.

If you haven’t read Flow by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, you are probably looking for happiness in the wrong places. In the 1960s Csikszentmihalyi watched artists at work and noticed something odd. While a painting was going well they would work for hours, forgetting to eat, oblivious to everything, and then lose interest in the finished canvas almost completely. The reward was not the picture. It was the state. He spent decades interviewing surgeons, climbers, chess players and factory workers and found that they described the same experience in the same words. He published the research for the public in 1990 and the book has been in print ever since. It is a book about one of the best feelings a person can have, and about what it takes to get into it.

The past isn't as good as you remember. The future isn't as bad as you fear. And the present is never as clear as it seems.

Two thoughts from Hermann Broch
“The world has always gone through periods of madness so as to advance a bit on the road to reason.”
“The barbarian whose piety betokens growth is better than the Roman whose soul shuts itself against growing.”

Any titles, money, or privilege you inherit are actually hindrances. They delude you into believing you are owed respect.
“A people that values its privileges above its principles soon loses both.” ~ Dwight D. Eisenhower

This is the real secret of life — to be completely engaged with what you are doing in the here and now. And instead of calling it work, realize it is play.

Nietzsche believed that the desire to be liked can become a prison.
When you constantly seek approval, you begin to shape your personality around other people's expectations. You hide your opinions, abandon your ambitions, and avoid making choices that might invite criticism.
Eventually, you stop asking what you truly believe and start asking what will make you accepted.
Nietzsche challenged people to question conventional values and develop the courage to think for themselves. Becoming who you are requires the willingness to disappoint people who prefer the version of you they can easily understand.
Not everyone will approve of your choices. That is the price of living according to your own convictions.
Stop sacrificing your identity for the comfort of being accepted.
“Identity is not negotiable. An identity you have achieved by agreement is always a prison.” ~ M. John Harrison, Things That Never Happen
“Happiness and beauty are the worst things you can have in a life, because you never forget them. They go on and on ambushing you, presumably until you die.” ~ M. John Harrison, Signs of Life
“…there is endless despair at the centre of every narcissistic self-portrait.” ~ M. John Harrison, The Course of the Heart
