Difficult People

Difficult people are those who impede action. Their motivations may differ, and our opinions of them may vary, but they stand between us and our ability to make something happen...
(Sandra A. Crowe, Since Strangling Isn't An Option, p. 48)

In dealing with difficult people, I try to remember that everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.
(Mayor of Atlanta Bill Cunningham in Since Strangling Isn't An Option, by Sandra A. Crowe, p. 238)

In those for whom alienation from everything and everyone has become a way of life, you will note suffering from depression, anxiety, and even physical deterioration, which often results in institualization or death.
(Dr. Wayne W. Dyer, The Sky's The Limit, p. 288)

Narcissism

Narcissism is one of the most common [emotional preoccupations]; to be so worried about image or identity that we can't entertain fresh ideas, or to be so insecure that we stick close to our tightly held opinions and biases. (Thomas Moore, Dark Nights Of The Soul, p. 51) 28 March 2013

Philosophy Of Life

Philosophy Of Life 

Creating a carefully constructed and passionate philosophy of life is not something modern people do. Today many blindly follow their clergy, their ideologies, their political leaders, and the press. Many get their life guidance from television and rarely have original thoughts about their experiences. Others may have many opinions based on the latest studies but generally have not worked out a deep vision. They are informed, but they haven't thought deeply enough. (Thomas Moore, Dark Nights Of The Soul, p. 29-30)

Opinions

You could choose no worse way to guide your life than to follow the opinions of other people. (Leo Tolstoy, A Calendar Of Wisdom, 7 August) 29 August 2012
