“People who complain often say things like, 'I'm not being negative, I'm just being realistic.' Really? How is it anymore 'realistic' to focus on and talk about things that discourage us and make us feel bad, than to focus on and talk about the POSITIVE aspects of life that make us feel GOOD? Both area equally REALISTIC, but which you choose to dwell on has a very different impact on the quality of YOUR life.” PeopleThinkingFeelsDifferentQualityFocusAreasNegativeAspectImpactComplainingFeel GoodRealisticYou ChooseBeing RealJust BeingDiscouragingAspects Of LifeThinking Differently Author:Hal Elrod
“Whenever you try to work through the things that we're trying to work through, that we're addressing, it ends up looking negative. Our goal is nonjudgment, nonfiltered acceptance of everything. So much of our background collectively, especially in the United States, is denying and suppressing and disowning a lot of negativity and the darker areas. You can become swallowed up in it. It's cancerous. The goal should be to define acceptance for everything. To try and consider every aspect. To try to look into the shadows, as well as the light.” ShouldTryingWellsLooksEndsStatesLightGoalUnitedUnited StatesAcceptanceShadowAreasNegativeAspectBackgroundsNegativitySuppressingDisowning Author:Maynard James Keenan
“The emotional aspects of a wilderness experience might be compared to a religious experience. It is particularly valuable for those people whose unconscious associations of pain and discomfort in relationships to man render a deity in human form impossible. Christianity is unacceptable to some people because of the use of the human symbol, but some who can't accept Christ can gain a tremendous sense of peace from relating to uncontaminated areas.” PeopleMenHumansUseMightPainFormChristReligiousAcceptingChristianityEnvironmentImpossibleEmotionalGainsAreasAspectValuableSymbolsUnconsciousWildernessAssociationDeitiesDiscomfortReligious ExperienceHuman Form Author:Donald Glover

“A lot of addiction actually ends by age 30 - something like 50 percent of all addictions with the exception of tobacco - and I think a lot of what's going on there is that the self-control areas of the brain are finally developed enough to be able to stop yourself from relapsing or just continuing. There is a maturational aspect to it as well.” ThinkingWellsEndsSelfEnoughAgeAbleBrainPercentAreasAspectAddictionExceptionSelf ControlContinuingTobaccoAge 30 Author:Maia Szalavitz
“The daredevil aspect to what I did there is moving a monstrously big ship over a mountain in the jungle of Peru with 800 or 900 or so native people from the area. So that idea was wild but the way it was executed was prudent. Nobody was ever hurt and when it became clear that we had to be more secure with the posts that would hold the ship, I spent 12 days having a post built that would have withstood the force of 10 times the weight of my ship.” PeopleWayIdeasBigsMovingForceHurtClearMountainBuiltAreasAspectWeightShipsSecurePostsNativeJunglePrudentPeruDaredevil Author:Werner Herzog
