LISTEN TO YOUR HEART

"To know how to choose a path with heart is to learn how to follow intuitive feeling. Logic can tell you superficially where a path might lead to, but it cannot judge whether your heart will be in it." -- Jean Shinoda Bolen

REFUSE TO BE A VICTIM

"We focus on the negatives, losing ourselves in the 'problem.' We point to our unhappy circumstances to rationalize our negative feelings. This is the easy way out. It takes, after all, very little effort to feel victimized." -- Elizabeth Kubler-Ross

UNDERSTAND DUALITIES

"The light which man has discovered within himself makes him more aware of the dark; through the good which attracts him, he sees the evil which is the line of least resistance; the activity leading to pain simultaneously permits him to visualize the contrasting pleasure, and thus he experiences something of both hell and heaven." -- Aart Jurriaanse

UNDERSTAND DUALITIES

"Life is the coexistence of all opposite values. Joy and sorrow, pleasure and pain, up and down, hot and cold, here and there, light and darkness, birth and death. All experience is by contrast, and one would be meaningless without the other." -- Deepak Chopra

WHAT DO YOU FEED YOUR MIND?

"The world is not dying. It's not falling apart. It's changing. I personally believe that pessimism is an indulgence, despair an insult to the imagination. There are wonderfully positive things out there." -- Wade Davis

WHAT DO YOU FEED YOUR MIND?

"I then remembered why I avoid the 'news,' if that's what you want to call it. Our 'news' is a misnomer, and it's more like 'the ongoing train wreck you can tune in to at any time when you want to divert yourself from your purpose and your happiness... lose your faith in humanity... and go from feeling like things are pretty good to feeling like the world is going to sh*t and why bother going on, I mean really?'" -- Ali Brown

TIME TO CHANGE DIRECTION?

"Persons and societies do not submit passively to surroundings and events. They make choices as to the places where they live and the activities in which they engage -- choices based on what they want to be, to do and to become. Furthermore, persons and societies often change their goals and ways; they can even retrace their steps and start in a new direction if they believe they are on a wrong course. Thus, whereas animal life is prisoner of biological evolution which is essentially irreversible, human life has the wonderful freedom of social evolution which is rapidly reversible and creative. Wherever human beings are concerned, trend is not destiny." -- Rene Dubos
