“Dude, you and your work/calling are an exclamation-point on my journey! Rock on!”
“I was experiencing (once again) some of the toughest few months of my life. But so was everyone else. My "go to" people for encouragement were "gone", off on their own crisis adventures. Suddenly, I was getting well intentioned but ultimately bad advice from strangers. I shut down a little I admit. Didn't want to try anymore. Didn't want to hear "When one door closes..." or "It's always darkest before the dawn." I saw a friend's post about Philosopher's Notes and clicked the link. They have been just enough sweetness to quell my growing bitterness. No cliches but somehow I already knew the lessons which gave me the confidence to listen to and trust myself. I became my own "go to" person in the process. Thank you for reminding me that I am my greatest resource.”
"Whether or not we have hope depends on two dimensions of our explanatory style; pervasiveness and permanence. Finding temporary and specific causes for misfortune is the art of hope: Temporary causes limit helplessness in time, and specific causes limit helplessness to the original situation. On the other hand, permanent causes produce helplessness far into the future, and universal causes spread helplessness through all your endeavors. Finding permanent and universal causes for misfortune is the practice of despair... The optimistic style of explaining good events is the opposite of that used for bad events: It's internal rather than external. People who believe they cause good things tend to like themselves better than people who believe good things come from other people or circumstances." ~ Martin Seligman
