“In a world in which we are exposed to more information, more options, more philosophies, more perspectives than ever before, in which we must choose the values by which we will live (rather than unquestioningly follow some tradition for no better reason than that our own parents did), we need to be willing to stand on our own judgment and trust our own intelligence-to look at the world through our own eyes-to chart our course and think through how to achieve the future we want, to commit ourselves to continuous questioning and learning-to be, in a word, self-responsible.” ThinkingWorldWantNeedsLooksSelfReasonPhilosophyEyeValuesCoursesParentAchieveInformationWillingPerspectiveJudgmentTraditionResponsibleCommitExposedQuestioning Book:Nathaniel Brandens Self-Esteem Every Day: Reflections on Self-Esteem and Spirituality Source: Nathaniel Brandens Self-Esteem Every Day: Reflections on Self-Esteem and Spirituality
“You're not ever going to get it done. Every time you evaluate contrast and conclude and then line up your Energy and allow it into your experience... at the same time you are achieving the result that you intended, you also achieve a new perspective from which to intend.

In every moment, there is a whole new set of stuff... new ideas, new desires being born.” StillsIdeasDoneWholeMomentsDesireEnergyStuffBornLinesResultsAchievePerspectiveContrastNew IdeasEvaluateGet It DoneStanding StillNew PerspectiveConcluding Author:Esther Hicks

“To live greatly, we must develop the capacity to face trouble with courage, disappointment with cheerfulness, and triumph with humility. You ask, 'How might we achieve these goals?' I answer, 'By getting a true perspective of who we really are!' We are sons and daughters of a living God in whose image we have been created. Think of that truth: 'Created in the image of God!' We cannot sincerely hold this conviction without experiencing a profound new sense of strength and power, even the strength to live the commandments of God, the power to resist the temptations of Satan.” ThinkingHas BeensMightFacesAsksGoalAnswersTroubleAchieveHumilitySonPerspectiveDaughterCapacityProfoundDisappointmentConvictionTemptationTriumphSatanCommandmentsSincerelyCheerfulnessGod ImageSon And DaughterCommandments Of God Author:Thomas S.

“Both Proust and Joyce record the ways in which human perspectives can be transformed. In Portrait, Stephen Dedalus is constantly undergoing epiphanies, but their effects are transitory: the new synthetic complex quickly falls apart. Proust's characters, by contrast, often achieve lasting changes of perspective.” WayHumansCharacterFallRecordsAchieveEffectsPerspectiveComplexesLastingTransformedContrastPortraitsFalling ApartEpiphanyTransitoryJoyceSyntheticProustLasting Change Author:Philip Kitcher
“As members of a minority, one that was often persecuted, that entrepreneurial perspective was burnished with a sense of "outsider" status - so not only were we committed to finding our own way of achieving success, we also grew up to believe that we'd have to fight to get whatever we wanted.” WayBelieveWantedFightingAchievePerspectiveGrewMembersFindingsGrew UpCommittedMinoritiesOutsidersEntrepreneurialPersecutedAchieving Success Author:Lewis Schiff

“As a political activist you run the risk of having to settle for one compromise or another in order to achieve your goals. Artists face the obvious accusation of elitism. The fundamental principle of my work is that it critiques capitalism in very specific ways. I am not interested in generalized political rhetoric. Instead of "aestheticizing" political issues, I try to challenge ingrained perspectives.” TryingRunningPoliticalArtistGoalChallengesRiskAchievePerspectiveCapitalismObviousCompromiseSettlingActivistNot InterestedRhetoricCritiqueAccusationElitism Author:Josephine Meckseper
