Deepak Chopra used to quote in his John Diliard/Chopra weekend traveling seminars something to the effect that I look out and see those around me growing old therefore I decide to grow old. Can anyone provide me with an (American English) citation?
-- Life is not what you see, but what you've projected. It's not what you've felt, but what you've decided. It's not what you've experienced, but how you've remembered it. It's not what you've forged, but what you've allowed. And it's not who's appeared, but who you've summoned.
