"[Poem:]
'A Dream Deferred'
What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up,
like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore -
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over -
like a syrupy sweet?
Maybe it just sags,
like a heavy load.
Or does it explode?
" - Langston Hughes
(1902 – 1967), American poet, novelist, playwright, short story writer, and columnist.

[Quote No.27884] Need Area: Mind > Focus
"When we have our body and mind in order, everything else will exist in the right place, in the right way. But usually, without being aware of it, we try to change something other than ourselves, we try to order things outside us. But it is impossible to organize things if you yourself are not in order. When you do things in the right way, at the right time, everything else will be organized." - Shunryu Suzuki
Japanese Zen Master

[Quote No.28965] Need Area: Mind > Focus
"[Everything in life is temporary - as they say, the only constant is change. This truth can be used to help control our feelings and desires. All we need to do is distract ourselves from the negative thought or desire and it will dissipate. This is the opposite of 'focussing our attention' on what we desire to help us move towards achieving it. This distraction methodology is so successful it is now being used medically.] 'Urge surfing' is a technique developed by psychologist Alan Marlatt to prevent recovering addicts from relapsing. It's based on the idea that cravings come in waves, growing stronger and more powerful before cresting and then disappearing. Patients are taught to ride out the wave with a combination of meditation and focused breathing.
Though the original purpose of Dr. Marlatt's technique was to help people struggling with drug and alcohol problems, it is now employed to manage any destructive behavior. Smoking. Gambling. Compulsive shopping. Inappropriate sex. Compulsive eating. And you can apply the concept to not-so-serious urges too - without the meditation and breathing." - Judith Strauss

Then, concentrate on those things that are inside the circle, things that you have the power to change, while ignoring the rest, and watch your life improve." - Seymour@imagi-natives.com
