Edith Eva Eger, The Choice: Embrace the Possible

“For a civilisation so fixated on achieving happiness, we seem remarkably incompetent at the task.”
Oliver Burkeman, The Antidote: Happiness for People Who Can't Stand Positive Thinking

Bill Burnett
“If it’s not actionable, it’s not a problem. It’s a situation, a circumstance, a fact of life. It may be a drag (so to speak), but, like gravity, it’s not a problem that can be solved. Here’s a little tidbit that is going to save you a lot of time—months, years, decades even. It has to do with reality. People fight reality. They fight it tooth and nail, with everything they’ve got. And anytime you are arguing or fighting with reality, reality will win. You can’t outsmart it. You can’t trick it. You can’t bend it to your will. Not now. Not ever.”
Bill Burnett, Designing Your Life: Build a Life that Works for You

Edith Eger
“We don’t know where we’re going, we don’t know what’s going to happen, but no one can take away from you what you put in your own mind.”
Edith Eger, The Choice: Embrace the Possible

Edith Eger
“Time doesn't heal. It’s what you do with the time. Healing is possible when we choose to take responsibility, when we choose to take risks, and finally, when we choose to release the wound, to let go of the past or the grief.”
Edith Eger, The Choice: Embrace the Possible
