“The ego must be able to listen attentively and to give itself, without any further design or purpose, to that inner urge toward growth. People living in cultures more securely rooted than our own have less trouble in understanding that it is necessary to give up the utilitarian attitude of conscious planning in order to make way for the inner growth of the personality.” PeopleWayGivingAblePurposeOrderCultureUnderstandingGrowthAttitudeTroubleDesignPersonalityEgoGiving UpConsciousPlanningUrgesRootedUtilitarianInner Growth Author:Marie-Louise von Franz
“Life is getting through the moment. The philosopher William James says to cultivate the cheerful attitude. Now nobody had more trouble than he did -- except me. I had more trouble in my life than anybody. But your first big trouble can be a bonanza if you live through it. Get through the first trouble, you'll probably make it through the next one.” IfsFirstsMomentsBigsLife IsNextAttitudeTroublePhilosopherCheerfulThe Next One Author:Ruth Gordon

“The trouble is that the whole 'accept Christ' attitude is likely to be wrong. It shows Christ applying to us rather than us to him. It makes him stand hat-in-hand awaiting our verdict on him, instead of our kneeling with troubled hearts awaiting his verdict on us. It may even permit us to accept Christ by an impulse of mind or emotions, painlessly, at no loss to our ego and no inconvenience to our usual way of life.” WayMindHeartMayWholeShowsHandsChristLossEmotionAttitudeAcceptingTroubleEgoImpulseHatsPermitUsualInconvenienceVerdictKneelingTroubled Heart Author:Aiden Wilson Tozer
“Does political correctness have a good side? Yes, it does, for it makes us re-examine attitudes, and that is always useful. The trouble is that, with all popular movements, the lunatic fringe so quickly ceases to be a fringe; the tail begins to wag the dog. For every woman or man who is quietly and sensibly using the idea to examine our assumptions, there are twenty rabble-rousers whose real motive is desire for power over others. The fact that they see themselves as antiracists or feminists or whatever does not make them any less rabble-rousers.” MenDoeIdeasRealPoliticalDesireSidesAttitudeTroubleDogMovementFeministCeaseMotiveAssumptionRacistTailsFringePolitical CorrectnessLunaticCorrectnessWagsAnti RacistPower Over OthersWag The DogDesire For Power Author:Doris Lessing
