“Admittedly,
being considerate and positive can contribute to the solution of simple loop
problems like cutting costs. But it will
never
help people figure out why they lived with problems for years on end, why they
covered up those problems, why they covered up the
cover-up, why they were so good at
pointing to the responsibility of others and so slow to focus on their own.“

consultant
“Think 'impossible' and dreams get
discarded, projects get abandoned, and hope for wellness is torpedoed. But let
someone yell the words
'It's
possible,' and resources we hadn't been aware of come rushing in to assist us
in our quest. I believe we are all potentially brilliant and creative--but only
if we believe it, only if we have an attitude of positive expectancy toward our
ideas, and only if we act on them.”
- Greg Anderson, The 22 Non-Negotiable Laws of Wellness
“There are certain emotions that
will kill your drive; frustration and confusion. You can change these to a
positive force. Frustration
means you are on the verge of a
breakthrough. Confusion can mean you are about to learn something. Expect
the breakthrough and expect to learn.”

“The opposite of a correct statement
is a false statement. The opposite of a profound truth may well be another
profound truth.”
