“Comparison with something that is better is the thief of joy. Comparison with something that is worse is a joy - full of relief and gratitude! You cannot always choose what happens to you or your circumstances but you can always choose your attitude by what you choose to compare your experiences or circumstances to and therefore how you will feel!! We can make any experience either a heaven or a hell by what we compare it to. Our emotions are 'an inside job!'” FeelsHappensJobsJoyHeavenEmotionAttitudeHellCircumstancesGratitudeCompareReliefComparisonYou ChooseThieves Author:Theodore Roosevelt
“The dream you are living is your creation. It is your perception of reality that you can change at any time. You have the power to create hell, and you have the power to create heaven. Why not dream a different dream? Why not use your mind, your imagination, and your emotions to dream heaven?” MindDifferentUseDreamRealityHeavenImaginationEmotionHellCreationPerceptionWhy NotPerception Reality Author:Miguel Angel Ruiz
“It's easy to respond to the hate cries, usually carefully wrapped up in a flag. Perhaps hate is the greatest simplifier of them all. It's the man with the throb in his voice, the man with the easy formula, the man who tries to shout to my emotions instead of speaking to my mind, the man who is sure he is right that I run from like hell.” MenTryingMindRunningHateEasyVoiceEmotionHellCryHe ManBigotryFormulasFlags Author:Rae Foley
“Aestheticism and radicalism must lead us to jettison reason, and to replace it by a desperate hope for political miracles. This irrational attitude which springs from intoxication with dreams of a beautiful world is what I call Romanticism. It may seek its heavenly city in the past or in the future; it may preach 'back to nature' or 'forward to a world of love and beauty'; but its appeal is always to our emotions rather than to reason. Even with the best intentions of making heaven on earth it only succeeds in making it a hell - that hell which man alone prepares for his fellow-men.” MenWorldMayReasonDreamEarthPastBeautifulPoliticalHeavenEmotionCitiesAttitudeHellSucceedSpringMiracleFellowsIntentionAppealsDesperateHeavenlyIrrationalFellow ManRomanticismIntoxicationHeaven On EarthRadicalismBeautiful WorldBest Intentions Book:The Open Society and Its Enemies Source: The Open Society and Its Enemies
“You've got to bring the emotion, and you have to understand that you can't touch other people if you're not touched. You can't move other people if you're not moved. So if you're just giving some frickin talk you've memorized over and over again, you're going to have a flat affect. If you've just got a bunch of visuals on the screen that are leading your talk, hang up your shoes and get the hell out of there.” PeopleIfsGivingMovingEmotionHellMovedShoesScreensBunchVisualsTouchedFlatsHang Ups Author:Tony Robbins

“My mother was the tough-as-nails disciplinarian who showed very little to no emotion. My father, on the other hand, was a study in contradiction.
