“Choice is the key, because human beings are the only creatures who can choose to evolve, who can shape their destiny. Furthermore, we have been given the gift of "self-awareness," which allows us to step back into our true selves to observe and use our brains to create the world we wish to live in.” WorldHumansHas BeensSelfUseChoicesGivenWishHuman BeingsBrainStepsDestinyAwarenessKeysShapesCreaturesSelf AwarenessEvolveTrue Self Author:Deepak Chopra

“If you don't believe in God, it may help to remember this great line of Geneen Roth's: that awareness is learning to keep yourself company. And then learn to be more compassionate company, as if you were somebody you are fond of and wish to encourage. I doubt that you would read a close friend's early efforts and, in his or her presence, roll your eyes and snicker. I doubt that you would pantomime sticking your finger down your throat. I think you might say something along the lines of, 'Good for you. We can work out some of the problems later, but for now, full steam ahead!” IfsThinkingBelieveMayHelpingProblemMightEyeRememberWishLinesEffortCompanyDoubtAwarenessFingersDon't BelieveWork OutBelieve In GodThroatCompassionateSteamClose FriendsPantomimeSnickers Book:Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life Source: Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life
“Human freedom involves our capacity to pause between the stimulus and response and, in that pause, to choose the one response toward which we wish to throw our weight.

“Our sadness won’t be of the searing kind but more like a blend of joy and melancholy: joy at the perfection we see before us, melancholy at an awareness of how seldom we are sufficiently blessed to encounter anything of its kind. The flawless object throws into perspective the mediocrity that surrounds it. We are reminded of the way we would wish things always to be and of how incomplete our lives remain.” WayKindJoyWishOur LivesSadnessAwarenessObjectsPerspectivePerfectionBlessedEncountersMelancholySurroundMediocrityIncompleteFlawless Author:Alain de Botton
“In order to understand people, we have to understand their way of life and approach. If we wish to convince them, we have to use their language in the narrow sense of the mind. Something that goes even much further than that is not the appeal to logic and reason, but some kind of emotional awareness of the other people.” PeopleIfsWayMindKindReasonUseOrderCultureLanguageWishAwarenessEmotionalApproachLogicAppealsConvince Author:Jawaharlal Nehru
