Stagnancy Quotes

“With me, the present is forever, and forever is always shifting, flowing, melting. This second is life. And when it is gone it is dead. But you can't start over with each new second. You have to judge by what is dead. It's like quicksand...hopeless from the start. A story, a picture, can renew sensation a little, but not enough, not enough. Nothing is real except the present, and already, I feel the weight of centuries smothering me. Some girl a hundred years ago once lived as I do. And she is dead. I am the present, but I know I, too, will pass. The high moments, the burning flash, come and are gone, continuous quicksand. And I don't want to die.”

“Anxiety always originates from a lie. All lies, whether self generated or accepted from another person, will resonate as a pendulum swinging to and fro as a reminder of an inconsistency with truth and impeccability. The further the lie is carried, the more the intensity of anxiety builds. The feeling may begin as unease, building to angst, translating to anxiety, panic, and even dread. Ultimately, anxiety creates stagnancy. What's the solution? Speak the truth even if it scares you. Be authentic.”

“On an overcast day, I look out of the window from my office and see gray clouds slowly meandering overhead. There was a time when the rain and cloud cover weighed heavily on my emotions as if they were gloom in its natural form, crying and raging with thunderous outbursts. But now those rainclouds appear differently to me, more like a soft, temperate, protective cover that makes me want to curl up with a book and relax. Funny how our outlook changes over time. If it seems like circumstances will always be as they are, it is an illusion. As sure as the weather and nature and aging, you can count on life changing both you and your situation. How awful stagnancy would be if this were not true.”

“Stagnancy is a deterrent for growth. It halts you on the journey of acceptance that what has past—happened, in order to give you the necessary tools to achieve happiness on the other side.”
