We change people, but oftentimes we get so focused on the negative people and their influence on us, we forget how powerful we are as positive people to influence others.

People are pulled towards the best in themselves, and spotlighting the right is a much stronger approach than nagging.

I think there is little harm in venting here and there about things, as we are all human, and it is good to express emotions.

People will often say "You can't change other people." My research shows this societal belief is not only dis-empowering, it is scientifically false.

Too quickly, venting can turn into dumping garbage on the people around us.

We are all constantly transmitting information to the people around us, and the messages we choose to communicate either create success or hold us all hold back.

There is no greater prediction in the research of our levels of happiness than the breadth and depth of our relationships.

Change your story, change your power.

Being in touch with the problems in the world or our lives is important, but even more important is to focus the brain on what we can do about them.

Social comparison that leads to unhappiness is the downside of social media.

Focusing on solutions fuels progress.

Never Give Up, Just Follow Your Dreams....

You wanted to see the world. And yet, all I want is to see you.

There is no literature and art without paranoia. Probably there would be even civilization. Paranoia is the world. It is the attempt to make sense of what has not.

I really don't care what people think of me. I've got my family. I've got my friends. Yes, I have been trained to be a little more aggressive if I need to be, but I don't go around thumping people.

Don't you see? I'm not the spirit of any age. I'm at odds with everything and always have been! I have never belonged anywhere with anyone at any time!

Socialism, when the last word is said, is merely a new economic and political system whereby more men can get food to eat.

Removal of an organ is difficult and dangerous. There have been several deaths of healthy donors. I think myself, I would be hesitant to participate as a liver donor. It's a very tricky operation.

A little bait catches a large fish.

I want to go and have a real experience and it's just lovely to sit and watch a movie and just be really transported by a story and care about the characters. That's always what I'm looking for.

It is sufficient for you that the one who envies you is distressed at the time of your joy.
