“Habit is formed out of memory... We often shape our present situation according to those habitual memories. Instead of starting fresh, we go back to what we've done in the past... easier for us than fighting our way through foreign territory.” WayDonePastFightingMemoriesSituationHabitEasierShapesStartingTerritoryHabitualFresh StartPresent Situation Author:Chogyam Trungpa
“My childhood was never great. We moved from place to place a lot. There were times when we had no definite place to stay. So, a basic level of security was not always there. Therefore, when you finally make it out, and you become who I am, you're humbled by the memories of those situations.” MemoriesLevelsSituationChildhoodSecurityMovedWho I AmDefinite Author:LeBron James

“Human memory awakens and extinguishes at will. It dulls and sharpens actions, enlarges and shrinks those who perform them. It humbles and exalts as it desires. When summoned, it slips away, and when it returns, it will do so at the time and place that suits it. It recognizes no chief, no overseer, no classifier, no ruler. Stories mix and mingle, facts sprout new shoots. The situations and words and scents-oh, the scents!-encrusted there are stored in the most disorganized and wonderful manner, not chronologically, not according to size or importance or even the alphabet.” HumansFactsStoriesActionDesireMemoriesSituationWonderfulReturnImportanceSizeSuitsChiefsSlipsRulersScentShrinksAlphabetSproutsDisorganized Book:My Russian Grandmother and Her American Vacuum Cleaner: A Family Memoir Source: My Russian Grandmother and Her American Vacuum Cleaner: A Family Memoir
“As for not getting things right: I constantly rerun social situations/conversations I experience/have throughout my head, and I'm always writing them down in notebooks or in word documents/the Internet. I feel like these habits and a generally good memory of people/the interactions I have with them (due to studying people having always been my main interest in life) have lead me to being very accurate in things I write in stories/essays.” PeopleFeelsWritingStoriesSocialInterestMemoriesSituationStudyInternetHabitConversationDuesInteractionAccurateDocumentsEssaysNotebookLeading MeGood MemoriesRerunsInterest In Life Author:Marie Calloway

“One of the main jobs of conciousness is to keep our life tied together into a coherent story, a self-concept. It does this by generating explanations of behaviors on the basis of our self image, images, memories of the past, expectations of the future, the present social situation, and the physical environment in which behavior is produced.” DoeSelfStoriesTogetherJobsPastSocialMemoriesSituationEnvironmentOur LivesBehaviorExpectationsConceptsBasesExplanationTiedSelf ConceptPast Memories Author:Joseph E.
