“Another way to handle these difficult folk(and this is my favorite) is to laugh it off. Even if you are so angry inside, laugh. It will be effective. It will help you feel better and it shows the opposition that they’re not affecting you at all. You are displaying confidence, happiness and strength. Something a lot of these types of people wish they had but are too lazy to obtain. Just remember all the progress you have obtained in your journey and where you see yourself going. Nobody else is going to get that for you, so stay focused.”

“Ahhh yes when you want to explore your more hedonistic part of the brain, well this part of the book will tell you to tell your brain to SHHHHH! Right now, just do it. Your brain says, “I want fast food” SHHHHHH! “I want to buy stuff I don’t need” SHHHH! “I want to sit on the couch, drink pepsi and watch Jerry Springer all day” SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! It’s not that hard to do, but so many people refuse to do that. We are supposed to be an advanced species, us humans, but somehow it’s so hard to tell our brain to just SHHH!”
