“There are very few joys in life greater than spontaneity. Spontaneity means to be in the moment; it means acting out of your awareness, not acting according to your old conditionings.” MeanMomentsMotivationalJoyActingGreaterAwarenessSpontaneityConditioningActing Out Author:Rajneesh
“Most of the great practitioners of the art of acting know exactly what they're doing; even in the best, most successful moments, when they let go of the awareness of what they are doing, they still, somewhere deep inside their body, know what they're doing. There is a craft.” KnowsArtStillsMomentsBodyActingSuccessfulAwarenessLetting GoCraftsDeep Inside Author:Meryl Streep
“We all have within us a deep sense of what we need, and what is right and true for us. To access this we need to pay attention to our feelings and our intuition. We need to learn to listen deeply to ourselves and to trust what we hear. And we need to risk acting on what we feel to be true. Even if we make mistakes, we must do this in order to learn and grow.” IfsNeedsFeelsFeelingsOrderGrowsPayActingAttentionMistakeRiskAwarenessIntuitionAccessBeing TruePay AttentionMaking MistakesWe Make Mistakes Book:Creating True Prosperity Source: Creating True Prosperity

“Acting is a creative process, and directing and music. I think creative people - and I take myself as a creative person and it doesn't mean you have to be an actor, a musician, or a painter - but I think if you are in a creative profession or a creative business you do have a heightened awareness.” PeopleIfsThinkingMeanPersonsActorsProcessActingCreativeAwarenessMusicianProfessionPainterCreative ProcessCreative PeopleCreative PersonCreative Business Author:Anthony Hopkins
“There's nothing wrong with being proud of America, believing that America can do great things. America can do great things, it has done great things. I think we have to have the self-awareness to recognize that the world is a very, very big place, that we could be a force for good things in the world, but we have to have the humility to recognize that sometimes even when we think we're acting from the best of motives our own idealism can be infected by self-interest. Other people in other countries can see it sometimes better than we can.” PeopleThinkingWorldBelieveSelfCountrySometimesDoneBigsAmericaForceInterestCan DoActingAwarenessHumilityProudSelf AwarenessGood ThingsGreat ThingsMotiveOther CountriesIdealismBe ProudSelf Interest Author:Peter Beinart
“I do think there is an enhanced awareness of insecurity and vulnerability that induces anxiety that creates pressure on teachers and administrators to offer simplistic explanations and to be resistant to expressions of attitudes that can be viewed as unpatriotic, which is further interpreted as applicable to any tendency to challenge the government when it claims to be acting overseas to avoid repetitions of 9/11 or to encroach on domestic freedom to identify suspicious persons and behaviors.” ThinkingPersonsGovernmentChallengesActingAttitudeTeacherAwarenessExpressionOffersBehaviorAnxietyClaimsPressureTendenciesExplanationVulnerabilityInsecurityRepetitionSuspiciousAdministratorsUnpatriotic Author:Richard A.

“To me acting and doing movies is really strongly about the present time. It's all about when you do it. It's to create this feeling of extreme awareness and concentration.

“I do not believe in free will. Schopenhauer's words: 'Man can do what he wants, but he cannot will what he wills,' accompany me in all situations throughout my life and reconcile me with the actions of others, even if they are rather painful to me. This awareness of the lack of free will keeps me from taking myself and my fellow men too seriously as acting and deciding individuals, and from losing my temper.” IfsMenWantBelieveActionIndividualCan DoActingSituationAwarenessLosingFellowsPainfulFree WillTemperFellow ManReconcileAccompany Author:Albert Einstein
