“You and I must realize that the English language is filled with words that, in addition to their literal meanings, convey distinct emotional intensity. For example, if you develop a habit of saying you 'hate' things - you 'hate' your hair; you 'hate' your job; you 'hate' having to do something - do you think this raises the intensity of your negative emotional states more than if you use a phrase like 'I prefer something else'?” IfsThinkingStatesUseMotivationalJobsHateLanguageRealizingExampleEmotionalHairHabitNegativeRaisesFilledPhrasesIntensityEnglish LanguageLiteralJobs You Hate Book:Awaken the Giant Within: How to Take Immediate Control of Your Mental, Emotional, Physical and Financial Source: Awaken the Giant Within: How to Take Immediate Control of Your Mental, Emotional, Physical and Financial

“We can't suddenly quit a job and then race to find a form of art that will pay off before the next mortgage payment is due. Creating art is a habit, one that we practice daily or hourly until we get good at it … Art isn’t about the rush of victory that comes from being picked. Nor does it involve compliance.

“The most difficult part, when you decide to make running a part of your life style, is the basic initial commitment. Everybody says, 'I don't have the time.' It's up to you to say, 'I do have the time.' For me, beginning to run when I was a student was an ideal situation.
