“In life, satisfaction is experienced when activities are brought to a state of completion. Loss of energy and loss of control are functions of incompletion. The result of completing things releases one's ability to create. Prioritize any items that need to be completed, set a completion date, then do it.” InspirationalNeedsStatesEnergyLossAbilityResultsActivityFunctionSatisfactionReleaseItemsCompletionPrioritizeCompleting Author:William Arthur Ward

“I think one of the greatest losses to humanity was the domination of women. I think every religious system has found ways to be kind to them in a kind of subordinate way. Very patronizing, very colonial. But if you start looking at the fabric of society, even religious systems, they would fall apart if it wasn't for the embedded ability of the women who are involved.” IfsThinkingWayKindHumanityFallFoundWomenReligiousLossAbilityInvolvedBe KindFabricDominationFalling ApartSubordinatesEmbeddedPatronizing Author:William P.

“Rabbits (says Mr. Lockley) are like human beings in many ways. One of these is certainly their staunch ability to withstand disaster and to let the stream of their life carry them along, past reaches of terror and loss. They have a certain quality which it would not be accurate to describe as callousness or indifference. It is, rather, a blessedly circumscribed imagination and an intuitive feeling that Life is Now.” WayHumansFeelingsPastLife IsCertainImaginationHuman BeingsLossAbilityAnimalQualityTerrorDisasterIndifferenceStreamsAccurateIntuitiveRabbitsCallousness Book:Watership Down Source: Watership Down
“A lot of people with high IQs are terrible investors because they've got terrible temperaments. And that is why we say that having a certain kind of temperament is more important than brains.

“Soros is the best loss taker I've ever seen. He doesn't care whether he wins or loses on a trade. If a trade doesn't work, he's confident enough about his ability to win on other trades.

If you're extremely confident, taking a loss doesn't bother you.” IfsEnoughCareWinningLosesLossAbilityFitTradeShoesBotherShelvesWin Or LoseHe Doesn't Care Author:Stanley Druckenmiller
“To create one must be able to respond. Creativity is the ability to respond to all that goes on around us, to choose from the hundreds of possibilities of though, feeling, action, and reaction and to put these together in a unique response, expression or message that carries moment, passion and meaning. In this sense, loss of our creative milieu means finding ourselves limited to only one choice, divested of, suppressing, or cendoring feelings and thoughts, not acting, not saying, doing, or being.” MeanMomentsFeelingsAbleActionTogetherChoicesPassionLossAbilityActingCreativityCreativePossibilityExpressionGoes OnFindingsMessagesUniqueResponseReactionsCarrieSuppressingMilieuAction And Reaction Author:Clarissa Pinkola Estes

People who survive devastating loss have the ability to let go of what they were doing, how much they were earning, and what they feel they are entitled to right now.

“My father lifted me up in his strong gentle arms and said something I will never forget. He said, "I know you can do it. There is nothing that you can't do. We're going to climb that hill together even if it takes us all day." And at age 12 losing your leg pretty much seems like the end of the world. But as I climbed onto his back and we flew down the hill that day, I knew he was right. I knew I was going to be OK. You see, my father taught me that even our most profound losses are survivable.
