Thoughts for challenging times
Lots of gloom.
Lots of financial advice.
Not much in the way of how-to’s about managing a positive mind-set.
Here are three quotes that I really appreciate – they anchor me and help me navigate choppy waters. After all aren’t challenging times the best time to learn new things and make new commitments?
Be the change you want to see in the world.
Ghandi
I get up every morning determined to both change the world and to have one hell of a good time. Sometimes, this makes planning the day difficult.
E. B. White (1899-1985)
“In the beginner’s mind, there are many possibilities, but in the expert’s there are few.”
Suzuki Roshi
And once you decide… COMMIT!
Reasonable people adapt themselves to the world. Unreasonable people attempt to adapt the world to themselves. All progress, therefore, depends on unreasonable people.
What do you use for guidance and focus in challenging situations?
We’d love to hear from you.
