in this case by sharing my emotional outlook on life.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

let us not lash out in anger.
But also, let us not try to pretty up life
with some lipstick and some party clothes.
See life clearly - no rose colored glasses -
and then CHOOSE to love life.
CHOOSE to be happy, be joyful, be grateful,
be forgiving of everyone and of every act
we believe has hurt us.

We get to CHOOSE our relationship with life.

I am like a newborn.
I have what I have today;
I have my fingers, my toes,
some people in my life,

perhaps a cherished memory,
but only a dream - nothing more.
I will make all decisions and actions based solely
on what I have today as a starting point."

other states, other lives, other souls.

Anger is something that each one of us has experienced -
some of us only occasionally, some almost daily.
Can we eliminate all anger? Probably not.
We will always have expectations,
and those expectations will often be unmet.
Disappointment is the principle cause of anger.
When we are disappointed, we look for someone to blame.
Declaring someone to be at fault is the nature of anger.
Anger is always directed at someone -

but at some animate entity.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

Most people think that anger is an instinctive response,
and that some people were just born with the temperament
to get angrier faster than others.
That statement is only half right.
Anger is an instinctive response.
We respond to an affront with anger essentially instantaneously -
much too quickly for conscious thought to be called upon.
But the instinct of the anger response
can be trained through conscious repetition,
visualization, and coaching.
Visualization is seeing the event
we desire to master in our mind's eye.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

Each has their suffering.

Generous - and greedy.
Trusting - and jealous.
Comforting - and snappish.
Original - and stuck in a rut.
Thankful - and needy.
Forgiving - and vengeful.
Nurturing ourself - and stuffing ourself with fast food.
Honoring our bodies - and overstressing.
Being Joyful - and Suffering.

But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown.

Every appearance in nature corresponds to some state of the mind,
and that state of the mind can only be described
by presenting that natural appearance as its picture.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Often, we get stuck on a question
for which we can't find an acceptable answer.
That is a good time to consider asking a different question.

usually invisible assumptions that we don't see, unless we go looking.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

Some single mind must be master,
else there will be no agreement in anything.

It is curious to observe what different
ideals of happiness people cherish,
and in what singular places they look
for this well-spring of their life.

some in the pride of power,
and others in the achievements of art and literature;
a few seek it in the exploration of their own minds,
or in search for knowledge.
- Helen Keller

by age, sex, color, class, or religion,

some people are loathsome and some are delightful.

- Anonymous

While it is natural to feel some degree of
need for the approval of others, be careful.
If you find yourself unwilling to
take actions that others disapprove of,
you have lost control of your own life
and have given your destiny to others.
An excessive need-for-approval
is a sign of low self-esteem,
and in severe cases, a condition termed co-dependency.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

Some are reputed sick and some are not.
It often happens that the sicker man
is the nurse to the sounder.
- Henry David Thoreau

Age does not protect you from love.
But love, to some extent, protects you from age.

There must be a reason why some people can afford to live well.
They must have worked for it.
I only feel angry when I see waste.
When I see people throwing away things that we could use.

Some men are killed in a war and some men are wounded
and some men never leave the country.
Life is unfair.

In everyone's life, at some time,
our inner fire goes out.
It is then burst into flame
by an encounter with another human being.

who rekindle the inner spirit.

Some cause happiness wherever they go;
others whenever they go.

You have to realize: OK, I don't know how
to solve a political problem,

I need to figure out some sense of purpose,
I need to figure out how to be happy...
and I'm willing.

to avoid being consumed by urgency.

I am persuaded that the world has been tricked into adopting
some false and most pernicious notions about consistency -

and is proud to be "consistent," unchanging, immovable, fossilized,
where it should be his humiliation.
- Mark Twain
