More From Tim Ferriss

We cannot choose how many years we will live, but we can choose how much life those years will have. we cannot control the beauty of our face, but we can control the expression on it. we cannot control life's difficult moments but we can choose to make life less difficult. we cannot control the negative atmosphere of the world, but we can control the atmosphere of our minds. too often we try to choose and control things we cannot. too seldom we choose to control what we can ... our attitude.

Do we need to make a special effort to enjoy the beauty of the blue sky? do we have to practice to be able to enjoy it? no, we just enjoy it. each second, each minute of our lives can be like this. wherever we are, any time, we have the capacity to enjoy the sunshine, the presence of each other, even the sensation of our breathing. we don't need to go to china to enjoy the blue sky. we don't have to travel into the future to enjoy our breathing. we can be in touch with these things right now.

Sovereignty is the term the bible uses to describe god's perfect control and management of the universe. he preserves and governs every element. he's continually involved with all created things, directing them to act in a way that fulfills his divine purpose. that's why the most stressed-out people are control freaks. they fail at the quest they most pursue. the more they try to control the world, the more they realize they cannot. life becomes a cycle of anxiety, failure; anxiety, failure; anxiety, failure. we can't take control, because control is not ours to take.

Sometimes you have to gag on fancy before you can appreciate plain, th' way i see it. for too many years, i ate fancy, i dressed fancy, i talked fancy. a while back, i decided to start talkin' th' way i was raised t' talk, and for th' first time in forty years, i can understand what i'm sayin'.

If you're doing nonsense it has to be rather awful, because there'd be no point. i'm trying to think if there's sunny nonsense. sunny, funny nonsense for children — oh, how boring, boring, boring. as schubert said, there is no happy music. and that's true, there really isn't. and there's probably no happy nonsense, either.

The most serious parody i have ever heard was this: in the beginning was nonsense, and the nonsense was with god, and the nonsense was god.

Since hillary clinton is the first time we've had a woman who was a serious contender for president, it's been an adjustment to watch her more changeable looks, and to see the lengths she goes to get the right lighting and to make the right wardrobe choices. her campaign is devising strategies to humanize her and make her seem more warm and maternal.
