Able to make catalysts for change out of anything. (sh.itjust.works)

quitting smoking or going vegan are good examples. If someone does the correct mental gymnastics, a dream can catalyze the change, or hearing a specific song, or even tossing a stone in a river with the correct mindset. ultimately the power is within the individual and anything anywhen is able to be the catalyst of change. This wisdom is an understanding of that.

it's like folk healing. often, people need a reason for change. The key is that the reason is within them and via their interpretation of reality they can create it themself.

Have more knowledge than you need. be more powerful than what power you use. its better to be reaching down from having more than required than to be reaching upward from potentially not enough (sh.itjust.works)

As much as we thirst for approval, we dread condemnation. Let’s realize that criticisms are like homing pigeons. They always return home. (sh.itjust.works)

I'm going to be posting from the free book called, 'How To Win Friends And Influence People' from 1937. It has reportedly been read and used by trump. Here is the excerpt explaining this concept from the first chapter, pg. 25:

You will find examples of the futility of criticism bristling on a thousand pages of history. Take, for example, the famous quarrel between Theodore Roosevelt and President Taft – a quarrel that split the Republican party, put Woodrow Wilson in the White House, and wrote bold, luminous lines across the First World War and altered the flow of history. Let’s review the facts quickly. When Theodore Roosevelt stepped out of the White House in 1908, he supported Taft, who was elected President. Then Theodore Roosevelt went off to Africa to shoot lions. When he returned, he exploded. He denounced Taft for his conservatism, tried to secure the nomination for a third term himself, formed the Bull Moose party, and all but demolished the G.O.P. In the election that followed, William Howard Taft and the Republican party carried only two states – Vermont and Utah. The most disastrous defeat the party had ever known.

Theodore Roosevelt blamed Taft, but did President Taft blame himself? Of course not. With tears in his eyes, Taft said: ‘I don’t see how I could have done any differently from what I have.’

Who was to blame? Roosevelt or Taft? Frankly, I don’t know, and I don’t care. The point I am trying to make is that all of Theodore Roosevelt’s criticism didn’t persuade Taft that he was wrong. It merely made Taft strive to justify himself and to reiterate with tears in his eyes: ‘I don’t see how I could have done any differently from what I have.’

One way to find out if you’re old is to fall down in front of a crowd. If they laugh at you, you’re still young. If they run to you concerned, you’re getting old. (sh.itjust.works)
