Obstinate

Sunday Inspiration.     Post by David Joel Miller.

“Can’t you . . . I don’t know. Find a hobby or something?”

“Being charming is my hobby,” said Adrian obstinately. “I’m the life of the party— even without drinking. I wasn’t meant to be alone.”

― Richelle Mead, Bloodlines

“I do not argue with obstinate men. I act in spite of them.”

― Agatha Christie, The Mystery of the Blue Train

“Thinking only begins at the point where we have come to know that Reason, glorified for centuries, is the most obstinate adversary of thinking.”

― Martin Heidegger

Wanted to share some inspirational quotes with you. Today seemed like a good time to do this. There are an estimated 100,000 words in the English language that are feelings related. Some emotions are pleasant, and some are unpleasant, but all feelings can provide useful information. I’ve also included some words related to strengths and values since the line between what we think and what we feel may vary from person to person. If any of these quotes strike a chord with you, please share them.

Look at these related posts for more on this topic and other feelings, strengths, and values.

Tense

Sunday Inspiration.     Post by David Joel Miller.

“The surest way to become Tense, Awkward, and Confused is to develop a mind that tries too hard – one that thinks too much.”

― Benjamin Hoff, The Tao of Pooh

― Bruce Lee

“Carl Jung tells in one of his books of a conversation he had with a Native American chief who pointed out to him that in his perception most white people have tense faces, staring eyes, and a cruel demeanor. He said: “They are always seeking something. What are they seeking? The whites always want something. They are always uneasy and restless. We don’t know what they want. We think they are mad.”

― Eckhart Tolle, The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment
