Mean Quotes
-
People with a scarcity mentality tend to see everything in terms of win-lose. There is only so much; and if someone else has it, that means there will be less for me. The more principle-centered we become, the more we develop an abundance mentality, the more we are genuinely happy for the successes, well-being, achievements, recognition, and good fortune of other people. We believe their success adds to...rather than detracts from...our lives.
Stephen Covey

There is also a great deal of behind-the-scenes pressure from political funders too. And by funders I don't just mean the fossil fuel industry. Many of those exerting pressure on our society to ignore climate change, oppose climate change legislation, and shut down efforts to develop a clean energy economy are doing so out of ideology, not just economics. In the simplest terms, many large industries don't want the government telling them what to do with their businesses and they don't want any restrictions on what they can and cannot do, which includes polluting our shared environment.

Ajahn Chah

We have to be emotionally intelligent. It also means that what works one day may not work the next or what works for one group of people many not work for another.

We destroy the most hallowed of relations, when we replace home education by social.And your education!

We all long for heaven where God is, but we have it our power to be in heaven with him right now-to be happy with him at this very moment.
