If you want the world to change to be a better place, you’ve got to start making the mind a better place, so that it sends out a better form of energy.

"Make the negative energy the abnormal energy, the things that you rarely put out, and make sure the quiet energy is what’s the dominant and the more normal way that your mind thinks.
