“... what the artist or creative scientist feels is not anxiety or fear; it is joy. I use the word in contrast to happiness or pleasure. The artist, at the moment of creating, does not experience gratification or satisfaction... Rather, it is joy, joy defined as the emotion that goes with heightened consciousness, the mood that accompanies the experience of actualizing one's own potentialities.” FeelsDoeMomentsUseJoyArtistPleasureEmotionConsciousnessCreativityCreativeAnxietyCreatingScientistSatisfactionMoodDefinedContrastGratificationAccompany Book:The Courage to Create Source: The Courage to Create
“Anger can serve a useful purpose if it is justified and directed appropriately. But when it's only a substitute for self-loathing and a justification for cruelty to others, the trigger in your brain can become horribly destructive and addicted to that emotion. It's like a tornado that blows away all of your pleasure and replaces it with emotional poison.” IfsSelfPurposePleasureEmotionBrainEmotionalAngerBlowCrueltyPoisonDestructiveSubstitutesJustificationJustifiedTriggersLoathingSelf LoathingTornadoes Author:G.

“Thoughts and emotions which never perhaps were in the mind of the artist, never were anticipated, never were intended by him - may be strongly suggested by his work.

“I try to write about complex issues--young people in an adult world-- full of irony and contradiction in a narrative style that relies heavily on suspense with a texture rich in emotion and imagery. I take a great deal of satisfaction in using popular forms-- the adventure, the mystery, the thriller-- so as to hold my reader with the sheer pleasure of a good story. At the same time I try to resolve my books with an ambiguity that compels engagement. In short, I want my readers to feel, to think, sometimes to laugh. But most of all I want them to enjoy a good read.” PeopleThinkingWorldWantFeelsWritingTryingBookSometimesStoriesFormYoungEnjoyPleasureDealsEmotionLaughingIssuesRichMysteryStyleAdventureReaderAdultsComplexesSatisfactionSuspenseNarrativeIronyRelyContradictionResolveEngagementSheerImageryAmbiguityTextureGood StoryThrillersGood Reads Author:Avi
“We deny ourselves the smallest comfort or pleasure; even if it only costs a few dollars. This is not prosperous spending. Prosperity says you can have red bell peppers instead of green, rib eyes instead of sirloin, and romaine instead of iceberg. It's not about spending everything you make, but enjoying what you do spend without felling guilty about it ... The positive feelings and emotions that prosperous spending brings is what attracts more positive things in your life.” IfsFeelingsEyeEnjoyPleasureEmotionComfortCostRedGreenDollarsProsperityDenySpendingGuiltyBellsSmallestProsperousFeelings And EmotionsRibsPeppersPositive ThingsIcebergPositive Feelings Author:Joe Vitale
