Why is God laughing?

Why is God laughing? by: Deepak Chopra

I really liked this book. Here are some quotes from it:

• Fear tells you that you aren’t safe. But you are. Thinking that you aren't safe is an illusion. If you believe in an illusion, you’re buying into a lie.
• Anytime one of your fears comes true, you give feat the credit for having protected you until that moment. Which only encourages you to spend your while life anticipating disaster.
• This isn't about who's afraid and who's not. Fear is one of the strongest layers of illusion. It’s like a fog bank inside each person. But if you could pierce the fog, you'd see that something incredible lies on the other side. Something you can't even imagine
• When the pain of being the same becomes greater than the pain of being different, you change.
• Behind you is the world you know, a world that hides from fear and obeys the desires of the ego. In front of you is the unknown. The question is, will you step through the door?
• Addictions are artificial substitutes. You’re stuck on things that never bring you what you really want. You can't have real roses, so you buy plastic ones. You can't think sweet thoughts, so you gobble down sugar. You can't figure out how to be happy, so you make other people laugh.
