“There is no way to live up to your full potential in life without losing lots of things. Yet there are people who believe you can go through a lifetime without losing anything, if you would just be more careful and more thoughtful. They actually believe that a child can get through elementary school without losing a jacket, but that's impossible unless the child is very repressed.” PeopleIfsWayBelieveChildrenSchoolLossImpossibleLosingLifetimeCarefulThoughtfulJacketsWay To LiveBelieve You CanRepressedFull PotentialElementary School Author:Jennifer James
“The lost wallet or purse law: No matter how careful you are, assume that you will lose a few. ... Keep grief to a minimum. It's bad enough your stuff is gone; don't lose your mind too.” MindMatterEnoughLawLostStuffLosesGriefGoneAssumingCarefulMinimumPursesWallets Author:Jennifer James
“One of the things that adds tension to our lives is small frustrations. Losing car keys can give you a panic attack. Not being able to find a comb when you get out of the shower, losing scissors and nail clippers, can make you fight with your roommate. The problem is that we think that these things are not supposed to happen to us. And that's what makes us tense. We think we can avoid these frustrations by making ourselves and others be more careful. I like to take the opposite tack-to assume that these things are a part of life and that they will happen no matter what.” ThinkingGivingMatterProblemHappensAbleLife IsFightingOur LivesCarKeysLosingOppositesNo Matter WhatAddAssumingCarefulTensionFrustrationPanicNailsShowersTenseParts Of LifeCombsRoommateScissorsPanic AttacksCar Keys Book:Success Is the Quality of Your Journey Source: Success Is the Quality of Your Journey
