“Americans long thought that nature could take care of itself-or that if it did not, the consequences were someone else's problem.

“Another simple and powerful way to dissolve problems is not to dwell upon the outcome of your actions. Instead, learn to value each action (no matter how small or large), to do it with complete attention. Your joy and satisfaction comes from doing each action with a whole heart and mind.

When you are not absorbed by concern for outcomes, how much anxiety can you ever have?” WayMindHeartMatterWholeProblemCareActionJoyValuesSimpleResultsPowerfulAttentionLearningAnxietyConsequenceConcernSatisfactionTake CareOutcomesHeart And MindPower Of The Mind Author:Brenda Shoshanna

“They who love to inform themselves, are never idle. Though I have no business of consequence to take care of, I am nevertheless continually employed. I spend my life in examining things: I write down in the evening whatever I have remarked, what I have seen, and what I have heard in the day: every thing engages my attention, and every thing excites my wonder: I am like an infant, whose organs, as yet tender, are strongly affected by the slightest objects.” WritingCareAttentionWonderHeardObjectsConsequenceTake CareEveningAffectedOrgansNeverthelessIdleEmployedInfantExamining Author:Baron de Montesquieu
“You've got to learn to let go and let your children fall, and fail. If you try to protect them from hurt, and always rush to their side with Band-Aids, they won't learn about life, and what is true, what works, what helps, and what are real consequences of certain kinds of behavior.
