“Now if you are going to win any battle you have to do one thing. You have to make the mind run the body. Never let the body tell the mind what to do. The body will always give up. It is always tired morning, noon, and night. But the body is never tired if the mind is not tired. When you were younger the mind could make you dance all night, and the body was never tired… You’ve always got to make the mind take over and keep going.” ~ George S. Patton Jr
“Obsessive thinking can do far more harm than good and never actually causes any change. Once you start feeling more present, you’ll take less joy in feeding the mental drama around the situation and naturally be less willing to put up with negativity it brings.”
Chantal Houde, Tiny Buddha
“When you choose to always see the good in people, their bad somehow melts away. When you start to believe that they are good, they too, will believe it as well and will choose to be the good that you see in them.” ~ Satori, infinitesatori.org
“There are no uninteresting things; there are only uninterested people.” ~ Stephen M. R. Covey, The Speed of Trust
“If you think the problem is out there, that very thought is the problem.” ~ Stephen M. R. Covey, The Speed of Trust
“This world is your best teacher. There is a lesson in everything. There is a lesson in each experience. Learn it and become wise. Every failure is a stepping stone to success. Every difficulty or disappointment is a trial of your faith. Every unpleasant incident or temptation is a test of your inner strength. Therefore nil desperandum. March forward hero!” ~ Swami Sivananda
