When you're not goal-striving, not looking forward, you're not really living.

Your automatic creative mechanism is teleological. That is, it operates in terms of goals and end results. Once you give it a definite goal to achieve, you can depend upon its automatic guidance system to take you to that goal much better than "you" ever could by conscious thought. "You" supply the goal by thinking in terms of end results. Your automatic mechanism then supplies the means whereby.

Emptiness is a symptom that you are not living creatively. You either have not goal that is important enough to you, or you are not using your talents and efforts in a striving toward an important goal.

The minute that we change our minds, and stop giving power to the past, the past with its mistakes loses power over us.

Fully 95 percent of our behavior, feeling, and response is habitual.

See yourself reacting to threats, not by running away or evading them, but by meeting them, dealing with them, grappling with them in an aggressive intelligent manner.

We are injured and hurt emotionally, Not so much by other people or what they say and don't say, But by our own attitude and our own response.
