My learnings from the book

• Day 1: Not to build a clean one-line story but to create a mosaic of experience — ever-forming, ever-evolving, ever-unfolding as what's within unravels into reality revealing at last the fragment of the universe that came to be known through you at this exact time.

• Day 2: The Golden Vortex — the space between everything you know you're meant for and anything you had previously imagined to be.

• Day 3: Happiness is not something that comes to you when every problem is solved and all things are perfectly in place, but in the shining silver linings that remind us the light of the day is always there if you slow down enough to notice.

• Day 4: Self-Protection is learning how to take a pause between what you feel and how you react. Practice this pause.

• Day 5: There are two rivers running through us at all times, one that carries all the voices of the world, and the other, a single voice stands alone — the voice of our inner guide.

• Day 6: Desire is a projection outward that is proportionate to potential inward. What you are waiting on is your own willingness to accept the mountain you must climb.

• Day 7: Stop trying to be good at hundred things and finally choose the one that asks you to risk, to lay your heart bare, to try again, even though you're scared.

• Day 8: Living life is really just knowing how to take care of yourself, how to make home within your own skin, it's learning how to build a simple life you are proud of.

• Day 9: Whatever pain you think you are in right now cannot begin to compare to the peace that will one day come over here.

• Day 10: The journey is not how you place down what's been on you, but how you learn to stop picking it up.

• Day 11: Not every phase of your life will tell the same story. Our greatest dreams and our deepest fears must coexist.

• Day 12: Release yourself into the Dreamscape and follow your heart's deepest calling.

• Day 13: You tell life what you want, and life tells you how to get it. When you ask for a big life you cannot keep fighting for a smaller one to stay.
