emotions

Things you crave for won't come if you cry, but when you craft and create. Creativity digs up the buried gold.

In writing these poems about relatives, I found it almost impossible to write about the mother. I was stuck. My feelings about my mother, you see, must be too complicated to easily flow into words.

Without opposition, there could be no creation. All life would cease without resistance. Emotions also have their polar opposites: attraction _ repulsion, love _ hate, aggression _ meekness, and mercy _ callousness.

The truth is that creative activity is one that involves the entire self - our emotions, our levels of energy, our characters, and our minds.

Intuition goes before you, showing you the way. Emotion follows behind, to let you know when you go astray. Listen to your inner voice. It is the calling of your spiritual GPS system seeking to keep you on track towards your true destiny.

A change of feeling is a change of destiny. - Neville Goddard P.g44

We cannot let go of the past enough to live in the present unless we are able to grieve our losses. We must deeply feel our emotional pain in order to accept that what is happening is not what we wanted. pg 155

Love is not a purpose, it__ a paradox; it__ not an end-goal, it__ an auxiliary fuel source to help get there.

Blame doesn't empower you. It keeps you stuck in a place you don't want to be because you don't want to make the temporary, but painful decision, to be responsible for the outcome of your own life's happiness.

Words are more forgettable, but the emotional effects they have on the person hearing them stay engraved in his or her memory.

If ever you feel lost, terrified, alone, emotionally and physically drained...when you feel like depression has overpowered you, and that the world itself, has devoured you...just remember that you are not alone, you are loved, you are a beautiful story waiting to be told._ -Nina Jean Slack, Once Lost, Forever Found (Vol. #1)

To distort our faces with joy, or wail and weep with sorrow, or collapse in agony, or wallow in sentimentality _ wasn__ an inviolable human trait but something we can lose simply by leading dull and dreary lives. __ rich emotional life,_ she__ written, __s a privilege reserved only for the daring few_.

In our lives we know joy, anger, sorrow, and a hundred other emotions, but these emotions altogether occupy a bare one per cent of our time. The remaining ninety-nine per cent is just living in waiting.

In ballet, any dancer who asks himself what step comes next must freeze. Any man who takes a sex manual to bed with him invites frigidity. Dancing, sex, writing a novel--all are a living process, quick thought, emotion making yet more quick thought, and so on, cycling round.

Sometimes to submit is to know you have a life worth living for a higher purpose, worth seeing through.

Consider your actions and words. Be thoughtful when expressing your feelings or concerns. Sometimes it's not what you say, but the way you say it. That makes all the difference

Your temperament can drive people away from you and then you live a regrettable life

You cannot operate from a place of love when you are emotionally unstable.
