Out of Your Mind: Tricksters, Interdependence, and the Cosmic Game of Hide and Seek
by Alan Watts“To go out of your mind once a day is tremendously important because by going out of your mind you come to your senses. And if you stay in your mind all of the time, you are over rational, in other words, you are like a very rigid bridge which because it has no give; no craziness in it is going to be blown down by the first hurricane.” Alan Watts
This book is a book on philosophy and Zen Buddhism. I came across Alan Watts thought some inspiration videos I found of his about life. The thoughts were not only inspirational but intriguing.

How open and honest are we with ourselves? How open and honest are we with others? Do we avoid the direct approach to truly expressing ourselves? If so, why?
Self-expression is innovative, it’s progressive, it is joy, it is freeing and fulfilling. Self-expression evolves who we are, what we are capable of and improves the quality of our life.

Why Was My Friend So Happy
“Happiness doesn’t depend on any external conditions; it is governed by our mental attitude.” Dale Carnegie
I was feeling dissatisfied with my life. I wasn’t really aware of this at the time. I felt normal. I held the belief that this is how life was. I kept telling myself that things will improve thinking that perhaps I was just in a rut. I started relying on this phrase, “If this…, then… that.”
I wasn’t experiencing any noticeable changes. Days, months and years passed. I felt quite the same – dissatisfied! I then realised that waiting on this or that to start really enjoying my life was a fucking ridiculous.
