There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so. (William Shakespeare in A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle, p. 111)
Isn't it odd that no one ever taught us about mental hygiene? But good mental and emotional health habits were never mentioned, let alone explained. (Larsen and Hegarty, Believing In Myself, 13 March)
How much simpler it makes living through even our most feared experiences when we have acquired the wisdom to know that the mind we carry into the moment, any moment, will be reflected in the outcome. (The Promise Of A New Day, 10 March)
It's not at all unusual for grown men and women still to be operating on the same emotional level as they did when they were twelve. (Larsen and Hegarty, Believing In Myself, 25 March)
Being angry, being neurotic, having a less-than-perfect childhood do not excuse you from the obligations of the mentally competent. (Harold Kushner, To Life!, p. 187)
"This is my secret, I don't mind what happens." (J. Krishnamurti, the great Indian philosopher and spiritual leader in A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle, p. 198)
"It's a question of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter." (Mr. Dickie)

Death of Osama bin Laden
Unhappiness is an ego-created mental-emotional disease that has reached epidemic proportions. (Eckhart Tolle, A New Earth, p. 110)
... complaining about our oppressions and indignities only makes them loom larger and more disturbing. (One Day At A Time in Al-Anon, 15 March)
For the sake of our mental and spiritual health, we must realize that any emotion that is buried within us is never buried dead - but buried alive. (Selwyn Hughes, Every Day Light, Day 64)
Since we can control and direct our expectations why should we set ourselves up for disappointment? (after The Promise of a New Day, 14 March)
To face oneself is the most humiliating thing in the world. (William Barclay, The Letters to the Galatians and Ephesians, p. 135)
Today, almost ten years after the terrorist attacks carried out against the United States by the henchmen of Osama bin Laden, the President announced that he was located in a fancy compound in Pakistan and killed by US Navy Seals. Congratulations and thanks to all of the people who worked to bring an end to this evil man.

- Assert yourself: No one can respond to what you don't say.
- Be teachable: The ignorance you won't admit will catch up with you.
- Find confidants: Friends double your joys and divide your sorrows.
- Contribute something: Takers end up empty-handed.
- Live today: Anyone can be strong for twenty-four hours.

Ego
Many mental disorders consist of the same egoistic traits that operate in a normal person, except that they have become so pronounced that their pathological nature is now obvious to anyone, except the sufferer. ...
The stronger the ego in you, the more likely it is that in your perception other people are the main source of problems in your life. It is also more than likely that you will make life difficult for others. But, of course, you won't be able to see that. It is always others who seem to be doing it to you.
