Emotions

Feelings come from thoughts, not external sources

We need to be seen, heard, loved, accepted, respected.

Emotions are like signals. Green lights, red lights.

How I feel is like weather, I may not change it but I can choose my own actions

“Its braver to overcome desire than to conquer enemy, for the hardest victory is over self” Aristotle

Anger

What’s surprising? It clouds judgment. Anger is the mind-killer. Use it to power actions, not to stress yourself The calm one is in control

“Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.” ― Carl Gustav Jung

A tiny drop of possible trouble

Look at it, differently

Gratitude

Doing what is right even if you are afraid

Most things are not personal, not about you

I make mistakes and that’s ok

Treat people who know less than you with respect and patience

We deal out judgment to others and seek understanding for ourselves

Social skills naturally arise from genuine empathy

“The lonely one offers his hand too quickly to whomever he encounters” Nietzsche

it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking

“Something to do, someone to love, something to hope for.”

“Hope itself is often better than what you are hoping for”

“False hopes are more dangerous than fears.”

Trust is the most delicate thing. Be impeccable with your word.

People will never forget how you made them feel.
