Negativity

When someone tells me "no," it doesn't mean I can't do it, it simply means I can't do it with them.

People who project negativity typically have low self-esteem. They feel badly about themselves, and their negativity is simply a reflection of those feelings.

A lot of people will ignore positive words when they are down and accept negative words. Those people never get better.

Negativity is cannibalistic. The more you feed it, the bigger and stronger it grows.

All negativity is an illusion created by the limited mind to protect and defend itself.

Nobody can motivate himself in a positive direction by continually using negative words.

Adopting the right attitude can convert a negative stress into a positive one.

No one can create negativity or stress within you. Only you can do that by virtue of how you process your world.

Negative words are powerful boomerangs so be careful what you say about people and yourself.

Stop allowing other people to dilute or poison your day with their words or opinions.

Adopting the right attitude can convert a negative stress into a positive one.

Nobody can motivate himself in a positive direction by continually using negative words.

When people tell me "You're going to regret that in the morning," I sleep in until noon because I'm a problem solver.

Sunglasses: allowing you to stare at people without getting caught. It's like Facebook in real life.

Before you go and criticize the younger generation, just remember who raised them.

Don't know where your kids are in the house? Turn off the internet and they'll show up quickly.

My room is like the Bermuda triangle, stuff goes in and is never seen again.

My goal this weekend is to move... just enough so people don't think I'm dead.

If you keep annoying me, I'll give your phone number to all the kids and tell them it's Santa's hotline.

Consistency is the enemy of enterprise, just as symmetry is the enemy of art.

Consistency is a jewel, but too much jewelry is vulgar.

Across professions, consistency is a direct product of work ethic.

Temptation likes best those who think they have a natural immunity, for it may laugh all the harder when they succumb.

Every form of addiction is bad, no matter whether the narcotic be alcohol or morphine or idealism.

At first, addiction is maintained by pleasure, but the intensity of this pleasure gradually diminishes and the addiction is then maintained by the avoidance of pain.

First you take a drink, then the drink takes a drink, then the drink takes you.

Pray that your loneliness may spur you into finding something to live for, great enough to die for.

Teenage crush is like flu. If you find a remedy for it, it lasts for a couple of days. If you don't, it still lasts for a couple of days.

Keep focused on the substantive issues. To make a decision means having to go through one door and closing all others.

To focus means to bring your attention to the center, to concentrate on one thing intently in order to gain clarity.

Some of the steps you take may end up being detours or out-and-out mistakes. By staying focused on your vision, though, you'll find even those steps useful in the creating process.

Getting distracted by trifles is the easiest thing in the world? Focus on your main duty.

The greatest temptations are not those that solicit our consent to obvious sin, but those that offer us great evils masking as the greatest goods.

At every stage, addiction is driven by one of the most powerful, mysterious, and vital forces of human existence. What drives addiction is longing--a longing not just of brain, belly, or loins but finally of the heart.

What a lovely surprise to finally discover how unlonely being alone can be.

Admiration is a very short-lived passion, that immediately decays upon growing familiar with its object.

Be occupied, then, with what you really value and let the thief take something else.

Families are messy. Immortal families are eternally messy. Sometimes the best we can do is to remind each other that we're related for better or for worse and try to keep the maiming and killing to a minimum.

Temptation is stronger in the minds of people who are in doubt. Prayer makes it weaker.

Sometimes we have to behave indifferent towards people who proclaim their love to us, just to see if they are really different.

Some temptations come to the industrious, but all temptations attack the idle.

The initial journey towards sobriety is a delicate balance between insight into one's desire for escape and abstinence from one's addiction.

The best part about being alone is that you really don't have to answer to anybody. You do what you want.

I love to be alone. I never found the companion that was so companionable as solitude.

You get crushes on people. You have to see them every day in that week. They're a fantastic person, and it could be a man or a woman.
