"People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don't believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want and if they can't find them, make them."--G.B. Shaw _________________

Nourished by thought, desires cannot die. They will but become
stronger by physical repression when fed by thought.
It is better not to fight desire, but rather to evade it. If it arises,
turn the mind to something else, to a book, a game, to anything
which is at once pure and attractive.
By fighting it, the mind dwells on it, and thus feeds and strengthens it.

"Remember, most of the things you think you need are ego trips designed to bolster your image and your perception of security.... You'll waste a lot of energy satisfying your ego only to find that, as soon as it's got what it wants, it ignores all your efforts and promptly nails another list of demands to your forehead. The ego will always try to force you to slave for its vision. I wouldn't stand for that BS if I were you."

Man in his arrogance thinks himself a great work, worthy of the interposition of a deity. More humble, and I believe, true, to consider him created from the animals. --- Charles Darwin |

Ohh I like that one Auntie! Here's mine for the day!
"The great Western disease is, ââ?¬Ë?I'll be happy whenââ?¬Â¦ When I get the money. When I get a BMW. When I get this job.ââ?¬â?¢ Well, the reality is, you never get to when. The only way to find happiness is to understand that happiness is not out there. It's in here. And happiness is not next week. It's now."
-- Marshall Goldsmith |
