The Language of the Mind

Dear frind Lynn Nash from the UK shared these terrific quotes with me a while back.  To me they re-inforce the vital principle of being very careful of the language and stories we tell ourselves and others.  We create our own energy, feelings and outcomes with the language we use and the thoughts that we allow to dominate our minds.

Hi Kirk, I’m currently reading “Psycho-Linguistics - The Language of the Mind” by Patrick Porter.  Not the easiest of reads (the kind where you have to stop every three of four pages and go “Huh?”) but it contains some great quotes.  I’m persevering just to find the quotes.  Thought I’d send you a few.   Hugs Lynne  

“The greatest discovery of my generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitudes of mind”  ~William James  

“What you get by reaching your destination is not as important as what you become by reaching your destination”    ~Dr. Robert Anthony  

This one is a favourite… “Success is not the result of spontaneous combustion. You must set yourself on fire” Reggie Leach  

“Don’t go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing; it was here first” Mark Twain  

“Happiness is the only good. The place to be happy is here. The time to be happy is now. The way to be happy is to make others so.” Robert Ingersoll
