  1. “And dinner, and is kind and nice to the waiter. And you start conversing about things and you care for things and so on. And then something happens to you because of the conversation, something positive happens. What more it could be in life? You're good. You got that.”

  2. “You spend time, yeah. Like, hangover, you know, you don't know what happens to you, but when you talk to people, you don't have a good time, right? So I don't have these things anymore, you know, like I've had mindful connection to people and dinners with people that they are really good people too. To have a dinner with friends and not to have hangover and have a good time, I think this is the biggest success you can have in your life because, you know, you can be rich and no friends, right? Or no true friends and no present moment. When you go with four people in a restaurant and everyone is present, everybody enjoys the walk and sitting at the table and having tea or drink.”

  4. “And you don't have to wait until you become the happy body. Like you go to a college and you complain all the time because you cannot have parties, you have to study. And it will be eight years before UMD. And then you will be happy. Well, you will not be happy. Because, you know, once you become MD, we're happy for a while and then something else comes in. And then so it's very important that you are happy in that moment.”

  5. “Oh, you're welcome. Second, but I like second, by the way, because I see that first 50 years is first body, but also it's the nature versus nurture. So you have the nature, you use the body, you don't care, the body is fantastic, is restoring itself, is recovering itself and it's very forgiving. The next 50 years is nurture. It's time to be intelligent. It's time to be, to have goals, it's time to have plans. It's time for that. So if we start nurturing the body, we can easily go for another 50, right? And that's our second body. And then there is this gracefulness on the road that we really need to learn. And once you... Get that gracefulness, then you can, your journey can be pleasant, your journey can be progressive, and your journey can be joyful. And, you know”

  7. “Yeah, if you can do that, and you know a lot of people that come here, they hang on on that. And once I turn them around that they will stop doing this, they become so happy in life because they focus on what is really positive about their children, about what they do at that moment. And so you can always find that. It's just you have to stop one thing complaining that Trump is there, right? Because you have so many people here, they don't like Trump. I said, listen, he is the president. He will be the president. Find what's positive. There must be something positive and focus on that. Don't focus on negative stuff. Focus on positive. Where is it?

But then it will be in that time you have to be there and not here, right? You have to be in your time zone because in only in the present you can change. You can get better. So when you do the training, you are doing the training. When you eat apple, an apple, you eat an apple, right? So you are there when you listen to the music, you listen to the music, you are present. That's mindfulness. That's what exactly is. to really embrace yourself. With everything was possible in life was positive.”

  10. “How to read books that are positive, how to watch movies that are positive, yeah, but positive, always positive. And usually American movie ends on positive, which is good, it's fantastic. It's supposed to be that way because it gives you this feeling that at the end we are okay. It's important.

So there is no end of the world. So that's why I said the past doesn't exist.”

And then there is 12 poems from this book. The whole reading is design, the purpose is for people to read over and over. Because, you know, we live around people that they are not masters. The opposite of it. And we have sometimes masters around. So our purpose would be to find masters, find a way how to be around masters, how to be around people that are positive, how to”

  12. “Over and over, what is it, you know, and nobody can say what is it? And nobody can use it. There is no method for that. So what is it? And it's in the story. Somehow the story works that way. And the ambience where you are in the story is working. So it's opening a possibility to agree in the story with somebody who is tricking the fatalist. Yeah and becoming the master.”

Yeah, don't really do something to these horses or calm them down in a way that you would give them drugs. No, use the horses, but turn them where you want to go. And then when you do that, you can achieve a lot because they are great horses. So you have other book of poetry, you have this free, and then there is a one that we've written. I got this.

  14. “And the horses are our emotions, and the rider is our mind. So if the horses are dragging the rider against his will, danger is coming. It's fantastic.

  15. “Then 50 50, and so on. So you explore your own mind, your own attitude, your own way of thinking. And it helps you eventually to lean toward being a master. Once you are there, then you achieve anything what you really want. You can achieve the happy body because you will be okay with eating on time. Let's say at three o'clock. But if you're not okay, fatal is to say, I'm not a monkey. I'm not going to eat at 3 or 2 and 1. What is it about that? I am free man. I want to eat whenever I want. That's the fatalist, right? So the master said, we have a plan here. What plan? I don't want any plan. Of course. Plato gave us a fantastic image. He said, if the chariot is the body,”

  16. “Fatal is and 50 master. The dialogues in the book end up with the master tricking the fatalist. And that makes the 51% master and 49% fatalist. It means you will choose one potato, right? It will be difficult. It will be tough. We know it's tough. You know, it's tough to become better in, doesn't matter what is that. It's always difficult. That's why it's easy life because when you do, the life becomes easy because of it. So in every book, there are 12 different dialogues that prepare you different situations. The book doesn't end up on that. It also gets you to writing your own dialogues, writing your own ways. How would you write about potesters and choices with 75% fatalist and 25% master?”

One is enough and you will be happy after because you will not get fat. Oh, come on fat. You know, you live only once, yeah? So why not two? Maybe three is good. It would be better. So you have constant this situations and a day you can maybe have hundred different possibilities to make a choice and you can make SFATalis or the master. All the master books are written to trick the fatalist, really. So when you come to the middle level, when you have 50%...”

And it has everything with strategies and intelligence built in. Okay, that's engineering, right? So then people need emotionally emotional intelligence. They need something that would help them on the road. They need something to build transitions from the one that runs marathon to the happy body or to sprinting. And we need those transitions built up. And it's not going to be easy. It's not going to be difficult choices again. So, if I am in front of two potatoes and one and I know that one Enough for me, and two is too much.”

All right, we don't have to, but if you can come out with your five minutes, it's fine. I'm okay with it. I would test it anyway. But, you know, the five minutes, the piece of music becomes a mantra after a while. So these five minutes at the beginning, you can open your eyes, you are irritated and so on. But after a month or two, you get calmer and you relax faster. And so that switch from sympathetic nervous system to para is quicker. You calm down. And after two years, you hear this music, you already come down. It's like mantra. I don't even have to say my mantra. If I sit, I close my eyes. I'm almost there.”

And we liked the music and meditation and the music idea. So, yeah, I collected 11 pieces of music that I thought that we could use as mantra for people to switch the sympathetic nervous system to para.
