We almost always have choices, and the better the choice, the more we will be in control of our lives.

Good or bad, everything we do is our best choice at that moment.

There are only two places in the world where time takes precedence over the job to be done. School and prison.

We don't focus as much in schools on educational knowledge which requires thinking and application, as we do on acquiring facts.

Unlike the weak, the strong neither give up nor are driven by pain into rash or stupid behavior. They don't like pain any more than anyone else, but they are not willing to settle for short-term relief if it means reducing their options later. They don't rob Peter to pay Paul, they face reality now.

Using no control and using humor will build a relationship and make a dent to where the client puts the counselor in their quality world and then begins to relate and seek out the counselor. Effective therapy begins with the acceptance of the therapist into the client's quality world.

When we depress, we believe we are the victims of a feeling over which we have no control.
