More On...

These will be added to the relevant topics under ZQuotes later.

Change

If you are serious about change, you have to go through uncomfortable situations and stop trying to dodge the process, it’s the only way to grow. - Unknown

Purpose

Our purpose is to consciously, deliberately evolve towards a wiser, more liberated and luminous state of being. - Tom Robbins

Past / Present

I try to learn from the past, but I plan for the future by focusing exclusively on the present. That's where the fun is. - Donald Trump

Problems

Confronting problems is choosing to suffer now in the hope of future gratification rather than choosing to continue present gratification in the hope that future suffering will not be necessary. - M. Scott Peck

Do not spend too much time planning or trying to anticipate and solve problems before they happen. That is just another kind of excuse for procrastination. Until you start, you won't know where the problems will occur. You won't have the experience to solve them. Instead, get into action, and solve the problems as they arise. - Donald Trump

Problems call forth our courage and our wisdom; indeed, they create our courage and wisdom. - M. Scott Peck

This tendency to avoid problems and the emotional suffering inherent in them is the primary basis of all human mental illness. Since most of us have this tendency to a greater or lesser degree, most of us are mentally ill to a greater or lesser degree, lacking complete mental health. Some of us will go to quite extraordinary lengths to avoid our problems and the suffering they cause, proceeding far afield from all that is clearly good and sensible in order to try to find an easy way out, building the most elaborate fantasies in which to live, sometimes to the total exclusion of reality. - M. Scott Peck

When we avoid the legitimate suffering that results from dealing with problems, we also avoid the growth that problems demand from us. - M. Scott Peck

Winning

Part of being a winner is knowing when enough is enough. Sometimes you have to give up the fight and walk away, and move on to something that's more productive. - Donald Trump

you If you work long enough and hard enough to understand yourself, you will come to discover that this vast part of your mind, of which you now have little awareness, contains riches beyond imagination. - M. Scott Peck
