“Pain nourishes courage. You can't be brave if you've only had wonderful things happen to you. Pain is inevitable. Misery is optional. Physical pain is a fact that comes with living, just as illness or financial woes or broken relationships are facts. But misery is a state of mind, a reaction to the facts, that can be controlled or altered by an act of will.” IfsMindStatesFactsHappensPainCourageWonderfulBrokenBraveMiseryFinancialIllnessThings HappenReactionsInevitableControlledState Of MindWoeBe BraveWonderful ThingsAlteredOptionalPhysical PainBroken Relationship Author:Barbara
“When we smile, the muscles around our mouth are stretched and relaxed, just like doing yoga. Smiling is mouth yoga. We release the tension from our face as we smile. Others who run into us notice it, even strangers, and are likely to smile back. It is a wonderful chain reaction that we can initiate, touching the joy in anyone we encounter. Smiling is an ambassador of goodwill.” MotivationalRunningFacesJoyWonderfulMouthsYogaStrangerReactionsChainsReleaseTensionEncountersMusclesTouchingRelaxedGoodwillAmbassadorsInitiateChain Reactions Author:Nhat Hanh

“It's great for me to hear those different reactions because when I travel with a movie like this [World of Tommorow], it's very similar. You'll hear a line in one city get a big laugh, and then in another city, the same line kind of gets a gasp, and that's wonderful.” WorldKindDifferentBigsLinesCitiesLaughingWonderfulThis WorldReactions Author:Don Hertzfeldt
