I think this is my absolute favorite quote of any movie...

"No fear. No distractions. The ability to let that which does not matter truly slide."  This is my favorite quote because this is what I want to achieve spirtually in my life.  It is the complete opposite of who I am, but it is a goal...

Life is not a crisis.

The sooner this settles in the better I'll be. Everytime I fuck up it is not the end of the world.  Everytime I make a mistake the worst will not happen.  I really don't like this line of thinking....

It can turn a great day into a crappy one with a minor mistake.  I wish I could just separate from myself during periods of anxiety.  When my wife or a friend is going through shit it is so easy to know for a fact and to say: "This isn't that big a deal, we'll get through this, what's the worst that could happen, etc..."  And I more times than not succeed in calming my wife or my friend down.

I can't do this with myself though.  I'll know this as the truth deep down and I still can't calm down.

Sux, I'm working on it though.
