statement: everything is being done for a payoff
Request: This is something I often live by and Hawkins has said the same thing.
Wisdom
"well, that's just your opinion, man"
A version of "Yeah? Well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man," from The Big Lebowski. Exhibits a posture that can be helpful in preserving psychic boundaries.
"Everything is perfect. Nothing has to change."
Quoting David R. Hawkins (according to the request).
Quote by Epictetus...
"The key is to keep company only with people who uplift you, whose presence calls forth your best."
"There are no negative feelings"
Priority request: one would have to first recognize them as illusion. Instead, this statement is more used like wishy washy, relativistic pop-psych advice that validates base level rage and grief (or any EC activity) and then permits them to run rampant in the psyche.
“Birds of a feather flock together”
The meaning is that beings (typically humans) of similar type, interest, personality, character, or other distinctive attribute tend to mutually associate -- wikipedia.
"The road to hell is paved with good intentions" (article)
Good intentions do not lead to hell, neither do good motivations. The "tricky" part is good motivation mixed with negative intention, e.g. an initial focus on problem solving yet with the overall objective of gaining power or control.
"What is meant for you will not pass you by"
Deep spiritual acceptance here.
"don't spoil it with thinking"
As spiritual students, we know thinking is overrated, but how much so?
"Never give up on your dreams"
Request: Typical self help/success advice, often used by celebrities and successful people to encourage others who wish to travel in their footsteps. It is usually taken to be inspiring. However, it is also sometimes seen as cheesy and impractical.
"You may be disappointed if you fail, but you are doomed if you don’t try."

work smart, not hard
Hard work is at 200. Intellect is at 400.
"We don't lose our loved ones, we gain them"
Request: I feel closer to relatives after their death.
"believe in yourself"
Request: It seems belief is illusion and the separate self is as well, yet the statement feels empowering as one transcends what were previously thought to be limitations.
"by their fruits, ye shall know them"
"the character and nature of a person or thing can be judged by their actions and the results of those actions" -- brave AI.
