~ WISDOM, WIT & INSIGHT TO ENLIGHTEN & INSPIRE ~
~ ENCOUNTERS WITH ADVERSITY & ANNOYANCE ~
We all, at one time or another in our daily life encounter difference of opinion, emotions & personality.
We all have the right to our own thoughts and opinions AND the right to express them.... OBVIOUSLY ;)
...
Remember WITH THOSE RIGHTS COME RESPONSIBLITIES!
I want to share some food for thought on this topic ~
Private Commentary
"It is not what happens to us that disturbs us, but what we think about what happens to us."
Epictetus (55 - c.135) Greece
True Empathy
" Make it your habit to listen carefully to what other people say and, as far as possible, be inside the mind of the person speaking."
Marcus Aurelius (121 - 180) Rome
Shared Responsibility
"Quarrels would not last long if the fault was only on one side."
Francois Duc De La Rochefoucald ( 1613-1680) France
Climate Control
" A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger."
Proverbs 15.1
The Eye of The Beholder
"We do not see things as they are. We see them as we are."
The Talmud
Driving Force
"Deep in their hearts, most people wish to be understood and to be cherished."
The Buddha (c.563-c.483) India
Shifting Blame
"Be not disturbed at being misunderstood;
be disturbed rather at not being understanding."
Chinese Proverb
Rule of Thirds
"When I am getting ready to reason with a man, I spend one third of my time thinking about myself and what I am going to say and two thirds about him and what he is going to say."
Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) USA
Actions Speak Loudest
"You can not have a proud and chivalrous spirit if your conduct is mean and paltry; for whatever your actions are, such must be your spirit."
Demosthened (c.383-322BC) Greece
Emotional Intelligence
"Is the ability to understand, articulate and manage emotions. Emotionally intelligent people recognize their feelings and are able to rein in or reframe negative emotions, such as anger, aggression and anxiety. They are equally adept at understanding the feelings of other people, and working sympathetically with them to overcome negative emotions that they may be experiencing.
Emotions will often be at odds with reason, but Emotional Intelligence helps us avoid outright conflict."
This concept was developed in 1990's by psychologists Peter Salovey & John Mayer.
I am an eternal optimist and would like to end this post with my favorite quotes I have hanging in my office. It is my intention to share Light & Love with this blog message, nothing more, nothing less :)
" A pessimist is one who makes difficulties of his opportunities and an optimist is one who makes opportunities of his difficulties."
Harry S Truman (1884-1972) USA
"No pessimist ever discovered the secret of the stars or sailed an unchartered land, or opened a new doorway for the human spirit."
Helen Keller (1880-1968) USA
