Spoon boy: Do not try and bend the spoon. That's impossible. Instead... only try to realize the truth.
Neo: What truth?
Spoon boy: There is no spoon.
Neo: There is no spoon?
Spoon boy: Then you'll see... that it is not the spoon that bends; it is only yourself.

This recently resurfaced in my mind. I was trying to solve a problem - what am I supposed to do for a career? - when I realized that the problem I was trying to solve didn't exist.
Reading this dialogue also brought back thoughts about the importance of changing yourself.
"...it is not the spoon that bends; it is only yourself."
