| 87d96e4 | THE ONLY WAY TO FEEL BETTER ABOUT MYSELF IS TO GO OUT . . . AND DO IT. | Susan Jeffers | ||
| feebeeb | We who lived in concentration camps can remember the men who walked through the huts comforting others, giving away their last piece of bread. They may have been few in number, but they offer sufficient proof that everything can be taken away from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms--to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's way. The way in which a man accepts his fate and all the suffering .. | Susan Jeffers | ||

| fcb708a | The term "universe" refers to that life plan that seems to take over despite what we have in mind-- that "force" operating, seemingly on its own, that often interferes with our picture of how we would like things to be. It refers to a certain flow in our lives and the lives of others over which we have little or no control." | Susan Jeffers | ||
| 1e302e2 | IN SAYING "YES" LIES THE ANTIDOTE TO OUR FEAR." | Susan Jeffers | ||
| 0ec8a6f | The phrase "say yes" means "to agree to" those things that life hands us. Saying yes means letting go of resistance and letting in the possibilities that our universe offers in new ways of seeing the world. It means to relax bodily and calmly survey the situation, thereby reducing upset and anxiety. Aside from the emotional benefits, the physical benefits are enormous." | Susan Jeffers | ||
| e68ab3a | You can't avoid pain, but you can say to the pain, understanding that it is a part of life. | Susan Jeffers | ||
| 3bb25d0 | ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF PAIN IS VERY IMPORTANT; DENIAL IS DEADLY. | Susan Jeffers | ||
| ea11e5b | Rejection is rejection--wherever it is found. So you begin to protect yourself, and, as a result, greatly limit yourself. You begin to shut down and close out the world around you. | Susan Jeffers | ||
| 2ed7b30 | Aikido in Everyday Life by Terry Dobson and Victor Miller. Their premise is that "the best victory is the one in which everyone wins." | Susan Jeffers | ||
| ee6a9b2 | Finding out what you don't like is, paradoxically, as valuable as finding out what you do like. | Susan Jeffers | ||
| 26e3dd1 | THE KNOWLEDGE THAT YOU CAN HANDLE ANYTHING THAT COMES YOUR WAY IS THE KEY TO ALLOWING YOURSELF TO TAKE HEALTHY, LIFE-AFFIRMING RISKS. | Susan Jeffers | ||
| 9218e1b | WHY CHOOSE TO BE RIGHT INSTEAD OF HAPPY WHEN THERE IS NO WAY TO BE RIGHT? | Susan Jeffers | ||
| 5fccd7f | things such as losing a job, the death of a loved one, divorce, bankruptcy, illness. Once you have handled any of those things, you emerge a much stronger person. | Susan Jeffers | ||
| 0650aa9 | Each time we confront some intense difficulty, we know there is something we haven't learned yet, and the universe is now giving us the opportunity to learn. | Susan Jeffers | ||
| e19cb72 | life is an ongoing process of learning. | Susan Jeffers | ||
| 4a9f63a | Nothing is as satisfying as those moments of breakthrough when you discover something about yourself and the universe that adds another piece to the jigsaw puzzle. The joy of discovery is delicious. | Susan Jeffers | ||
| 98467c6 | Trust your feelings. If the path you're on isn't providing you joy, satisfaction, creativity, love, and caring, that's not it. | Susan Jeffers | ||
| 192bae5 | No one is more unloving than a person who can't own his or her own power. | Susan Jeffers | ||
| cc015a7 | The Path is much like the experience of climbing a mountain. The climb is tough. But each time you stop to look around, the view becomes more spectacular. | Susan Jeffers | ||
| a1f0b0c | Say YES to life. Participate. Move. Act. Write. Read. Sign up. Take a stand. Or do whatever it takes for you. Get involved in the process. | Susan Jeffers | ||
| ff17221 | For some reason we feel we should be perfect, and forget that we learn through our mistakes. Our need to be perfect and our need to control the outcome of events work together to keep us petrified when we think about making a change or attempting a new challenge. | Susan Jeffers | ||
| e5af765 | The fear will never go away as long as I continue to grow. | growth | Susan Jeffers | |
| d4d0c27 | I believe that if something is troubling you, simply start from where you are and take the action necessary to change it. | Susan Jeffers | ||
| 382c322 | I know it is hard to accept, but an upset in your life is beneficial, in that it tells you that you are off course in some way and you need to find your way back to your particular path of clarity once again. | Susan Jeffers | ||
| 25bc97e | As long as he lived Coleridge did not believe he would understand how a single race of beings could include both Jesus Christ and the sort of people who would download a video of a young woman being murdered. He rather supposed that had been the Messiah's point, but that didn't make it any easier to understand or accept. | Ben Elton | ||
| f5e5c74 | What the matter wit' your momma? She only know one name?' Stone | Ben Elton | ||
| a9b1b70 | You... you don't look like a Jew,' she heard him mumble. 'What does a Jew look like, you fatuous bastard'? - 'Do you think I should have a nose like a boat hook, you stupid old prick! | jewish | Ben Elton | |
| b677eec | H]e was damned if he was going to water down his arguments simply to satisfy the preference of the mob for dogma and ignorance. | Ben Elton | ||
| 3b10111 | Screw humanity. I don't give the whole stinking bunch of us more than a couple of generations and good riddance. The universe is better off without us. | Ben Elton | ||
| e28638c | I see dull people as projects ... to be reformed | life people project psychology reform | Ben Elton | |
| 1055228 | A time when the miracles of technology were still virile and exciting: steam engines and flying machines, not smart phones and cosmetic surgery. When there were still wildernesses left to explore and mountains left unclimbed. | Ben Elton | ||
| e5c6b99 | She spoke loudly in order to be heard above the noise of personal communitainers that were thudding and banging all around them. Some people used earphones, some didn't, clearly believing that as many people as possible should be given the opportunity to appreciate their musical taste. That, combined with the mass leakage from the headsets, created a terrible din and even discreet private conversations had to be conducted at a yell. | conversations earphones heard musical-taste thudding yell | Ben Elton | |

| 1a10b49 | He fished steadily, trying to fight down a dragging, aching sense of loss, wondering how one's brain should know all the sensible answers while one's emotions longed for the unattainable. | M.C. Beaton | ||
| e42bc8d | Although she far outranked Hamish, she had to wait patiently, because this was Lochdubh, where Hamish Macbeth was king. | M.C. Beaton | ||
| c10d148 | like most thin-skinned people who have been snubbed, he could not leave the snubbers alone. | M.C. Beaton | ||
| ab28e44 | Hamish's family were unusual in that they had always celebrated Christmas--tree, turkey, presents and all. In parts of the Highlands, like Lochdubh, the old spirit of John Knox still wandered, blasting anyone with hellfire should they dare to celebrate this heathen festival. Hamish had often pointed out that none other than Luther was credited with the idea of the Christmas tree, having been struck by the sight of stars shining through the .. | M.C. Beaton | ||
