Often we allow ourselves to be upset by small things we should despise and forget. we lose many irreplaceable hours brooding over grievances that, in a year's time, will be forgotten by us and by everybody. no, let us devote our life to worthwhile actions and feelings, to great thoughts, real affections and enduring undertakings.

Often We Allow Ourselves To Be Upset

More From Andre Maurois

You know, hillary clinton's out there saying, we need smart diplomacy. we need to do smart power. and that means empathizing with our enemy, understanding their grievances, like we understand the grievances of homosexuals, like we understand the grievances of african-americans. we must learn to understand the grievances of isis.
Smart Mean Isis
Let others lead small lives, but not you. let others argue over small things, let them complain over what might have been, but not you. let others cry over small hurts, let them be discouraged, let them be revengeful and vindictive, but not you. let others leave their future in someone else's hands, let them become materialistic and empty, but not you. let others become ungrateful and stop praying, but not you! let others give up, but not you! for you know in whom you believe and you know that he is always able. now, that's you!
Motivational Hurt Giving Up
Let us pause before the child of bethlehem. let us allow our hearts to be touched, let us allow ourselves to be warmed by the tenderness of god; we need his caress. god is full of love: to him be praise and glory forever! god is peace: let us ask him to help us to be peacemakers each day, in our life, in our families, in our cities and nations, in the whole world. let us allow ourselves to be moved by god's goodness.

I don't get upset over things i can control, because if i can control them there's no sense in getting upset. and i don't get upset over things i can't control, because if i can't control them there's no sense in getting upset.

When people become too intense, too serious, they will have trouble in relating to any sort of social game or norm. perhaps this is why jokes are so important. on one hand they tell us about where the problems and grievances are, and, at the same time, they provide the means of enduring these grievances by laughing at the problems.
Mean Hands Games
The biggest adversary in our life is ourselves. we are what we are, in a sense, because of the dominating thoughts we allow to gather in our head. all concepts of self-improvement, all actions and paths we take, relate solely to our abstract image of ourselves. life is limited only by how we really see ourselves and feel about our being. a great deal of pure self-knowledge and inner understanding allows us to lay an all-important foundation for the structure of our life from which we can perceive and take the right avenues.
