genius = happiness squared...

i was sent this quote recently.....it got me thinking, and, off on a search to find out maybe what einstein's "goals" were. but i ended up just blown away by his geniusness on many a subject. not sure why i am so surprised... but i've now added a bunch of his books to my wish list! 

"If you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal, not to people or things." - Einstein. 


A question that sometimes drives me hazy: am I or are the others crazy?

Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex... It takes a touch of genius - and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction.

It's not that I'm so smart, it's just that I stay with problems longer. 

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

You cannot simultaneously prevent and prepare for war.  

A man should look for what is, and not for what he thinks should be.

We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them. 

I never think of the future - it comes soon enough.

Memory is deceptive because it is colored by today's events.

Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.

fear is...

‎"Fearlessness is the total presence of fear, with the courage to face it."  OshO
i googled fearless and got taylor swift and colbie calliat song lyrics...one about the fearless high when falling in love. one about being fearless in moving on after the fallout of love. its always about love isn't it?.... 


definition is as "simple" as: free from fear . if only THAT were simple. if only simple were simple.....


my cousin recently posted this and i loved it: 

"But come here fear, 
I am alive. 
And you are so afraid of dying." 

i am not afraid of love. at all. i love love. i might be more afraid of loving....but then when i do i am usually pretty fearless with it. friend. lover. job. song. color. i just LOVE it.  maybe too much? 


free from fear... might be like free to feel. feel whatever it is. for quite possibly only the second time ever in my life i feel free to feel whatever i want to feel...and free of fear for what i may feel.


now to simply figure out what THAT is.
