Crystal Jade Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 When I retired at the start of this year, my sister-in-law gave me a mug that said 'The diem is not going to carpe itself!'. I keep thinking of that when I feel the urge to slow down or sleep in. It's not poetry, but it works. 3 Quote Link to comment
mightstone2k Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone, I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone, there will be nothing. Only I will remain. -- the Litany Against Fear (Dune) 1 Quote Battle Log Lifetime Training Goals 2017 Goals Dovie'andi se tovya sagain. Avatar courtesy of Starpuck Link to comment

Mark D Posted March 17, 2016 Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 "You know, there is a peaceful, almost serene, moment that occurs just after the last chance to prevent the fit from hitting the shan, a moment that is almost like a deep sigh as if the Universe is thinking about what a nice day it had been up to that point, and in all that quiet, you can quite clearly hear that little voice in the back of your head saying: "Oh, bugger.""

Jem Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 If you've ever thought to yourself 'I can't do that' when it comes to anything like committing to a workout program, a nutrition plan, or even a business model, just find someone who has been successful at it and repeat this simple mantra: 'They thought the same things. They found a way. It's not impossible. I can do this too.' Quote Link to comment
Luds Posted April 30, 2016 Report Share Posted April 30, 2016 Frank Herbert quotes: “Fear is the mind-killer.” “The mind commands the body and it obeys...” “Without change something sleeps inside us, and seldom awakens. The sleeper must awaken.” “Confine yourself to observing and you always miss the point of your life. The object can be stated this way: Live the best life you can. Life is a game whose rules you learn if you leap into it and play it to the hilt.” “The child who refuses to travel in the father's harness, this is the symbol of man's most unique capability. "I do not have to be what my father was. I do not have to obey my father's rules or even believe everything he believed. It is my strength as a human that I can make my own choices of what to believe and what not to believe, of what to be and what not to be.” “Most civilisation is based on cowardice. It's so easy to civilize by teaching cowardice. You water down the standards which would lead to bravery. You restrain the will. You regulate the appetites. You fence in the horizons. You make a law for every movement. You deny the existence of chaos. You teach even the children to breathe slowly. You tame.” 2 Quote Remember that sensory deprivation causes hallucinations Link to comment

Fearkiller Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 11 hours ago, Sjard said: "Shaming yourself isn't about beating yourself up. It's about sparking an emotion that encourages positive change." - Chris Shugart Brene Brown, Listening to shame The ted talk Quote The thing to understand about shame is, it's not guilt. Shame is a focus on self, guilt is a focus on behavior. Shame is "I am bad." Guilt is "I did something bad." How many of you, if you did something that was hurtful to me, would be willing to say, "I'm sorry. I made a mistake?" How many of you would be willing to say that? Guilt: I'm sorry. I made a mistake. Shame: I'm sorry. I am a mistake. There's a huge difference between shame and guilt. And here's what you need to know. Shame is highly, highly correlated with addiction, depression, violence, aggression, bullying, suicide, eating disorders. And here's what you even need to know more. Guilt, inversely correlated with those things. The ability to hold something we've done or failed to do up against who we want to be is incredibly adaptive. It's uncomfortable, but it's adaptive. 2 Quote "There is beauty in hardship / There are poems in grief" -Assemblage 23, Damaged | STR:2.25 | DEX:2.25 | STA:2 | CON:1.25 | CHA:3.25 | WIS:7 | A place I will collect my woots - if I remember Challenges | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 15.1 | 15.2 | Milythaels' HOoRAY for which I am grateful | Today, right now, I am alive.
