Attitude - Motivation of life

The greater the doubt, the greater the awakening; the smaller the doubt, the smaller the awakening. No doubt, no awakening. —C.-C. Chang, The Practice of Zen You live through that little piece of time that is yours, but that piece of time is not only your own life, it is the summing-up of all the other lives that are simultaneous with yours. . . . What you are is an expression of History. —Robert Penn Warren, World Enough and Time #attitude_is_everything @annonyi

Imagination is absolutely critical to the quality of our lives. Our imagination enables us to leave our routine everyday existence by fantasizing about travel, food, sex, falling in love, or having the last word—all the things that make life interesting. Imagination gives us the opportunity to envision new possibilities—it is an essential launchpad for making our hopes come true. It fires our creativity, relieves our boredom, alleviates our pain, enhances our pleasure, and enriches our most intimate relationships. When people are compulsively and constantly pulled back into the past, to the last time they felt intense involvement and deep emotions, they suffer from a failure of imagination, a loss of the mental flexibility. Without imagination there is no hope, no chance to envision a better future, no place to go, no goal to reach. The body keeps score- Bessel vande kolk #attitude_is_everything @annonyi

It’s probably not about you Let’s say you’re checking out at the grocery store, and the clerk is dismissive and short with you. Here are the possibilities: They hate their low-paying job and the attendant bullshit.They had an ugly fight with their significant other this morning and are stewing about that.They’re developing strep throat.They are a sour person generally.They dislike you personally and are out to get you, even though they just set eyes on you and you’ve said nothing to them yet. Now. Of those possibilities, which is the likeliest? But which one does your mind jump to? Usually, when people are being dicks, it’s not about you; it’s about them. Think about the last time you were rude or dismissive to a stranger. It’s probably because something else bad was happening and you were in a foul mood. And such is the case with others, too. It’s more than likely that either something shitty is going on in their life, or they’re just bad, mean people. #attitude_is_everything @annonyi

Recognize six-month problems When you get really upset about something, ask yourself if this is something you will remember in six months. Most things aren’t. Most things are six-day problems, or six-minute problems. If the answer is No, I will not remember this, then you need to try to do your best to move on. If the answer’s yes, you also need to do your best to move on, but at least a no answer puts you in the proper frame of mind. #attitude_is_everything @annonyi

Don’t get hurt when the world doesn’t care about you It’s not as depressing as it sounds. It’s not as though the world hates you — it just has no idea who you are. It is, at best, indifferent to your wants and needs, your preferences, your pet peeves, and so on. When you walk into a new office, new city, new country, whatever, you are starting from scratch and cannot call upon that loving capital that your friends and family have for you. You sometimes find patches of immediately friendly people, but that won’t be the rule. It is now up to you to find and surround yourself with people for whom you feel affection and respect. People will come to care about you, but only if you give them a valid reason. Don’t assume they’ll give you love like your parents, emotional support like your best friend, and cheerful feedback like a soccer coach for seven-year-olds. Because they won’t, unless you give them good reason to. And even then, they still probably won’t. #attitude_is_everything @annonyi

You are the painter of your own mood. Your days are only as grey as you allow them to be. #attitude

Lesson for the Day When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 Hours in a day is not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and 2 cups of coffee. A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was. The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was. The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with an unanimous "yes." The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table And poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the Empty space between the sand.The students laughed. "Now," said the professor, as the laughter subsided, "I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things - God, family, children, health, friends, and Favorite passions -- things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full. The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, house, and car. The sand is everything else -- the small stuff. "If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued, "there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you. So... Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play With your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your partner out to dinner. Play another 18. There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal. "Take care of the golf balls first -- the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand." One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee represented. The professor smiled. "I'm glad you asked". It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend."
