“It is too early to feel fear of the future when one is under 30, and too late after that. What I mean is that one must never allow fear to become one's permanent sense of life. The important thing is to prepare yourself intellectually to deal with whatever circumstances you may encounter, which requires that you define your values fully, clearly and rationally -- and never betray them.” FeelsMayMeanImportantValuesDealsCircumstancesLateImportant ThingsPermanentEncountersToo LateBetrayFear Of The Future Book:Letters of Ayn Rand Source: Letters of Ayn Rand
“When we aren't alert, we miss opportunities to improve ourselves. We should always watch for circumstances or situations that can help or harm us and be eager to learn from these encounters.” ShouldHelpingOpportunitySituationWatchesMissingCircumstancesHarmEncountersMissing Opportunity Author:John Wooden
“But nirvana is a radical transformation of how it feels to be alive: it feels as if everything were myself, or as if everything---including "my" thoughts and actions---were happening of itself. There are still efforts, choices, and decisions, but not the sense that "I make them"; they arise of themselves in relation to circumstances. This is therefore to feel life, not as an encounter between subject and object, but as a polarized field where the contest of opposites has become the play of opposites.” IfsFeelsStillsPlayActionChoicesDecisionEffortAliveSubjectsFieldsObjectsCircumstancesHappeningsOppositesRelationTransformationIncludingAriseRadicalEncountersContestsMy ThoughtsThoughts And ActionsChoices And Decisions Book:Psychotherapy East & West Source: Psychotherapy East & West
