\"15I posted this blog recently on PsychCentral<\/a>. I thought I’d excerpt from it here, but you can find more quotes there<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I recently joined \u201cThe Psychology Network\u201d on LinkedIn<\/a> and have been enjoying the discussion among mental health professionals (since I\u2019m not really one, but pretend to be all the time).<\/p>\n

Especially intriguing was the discussion thread called \u201cWhat are some of your favorite quotes that have motivated and inspired you?\u201d They are quotes that they share with patients or with each other, or that they just think are cool and sound good. Here are just 15 from the 70 or so responses:<\/p>\n

“Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.” \u2013Hilary Cooper<\/p>\n

“If you can keep your wits about you while others are losing theirs and blaming you, the world will be yours.” –Rudyard Kipling<\/p>\n

\u201cGive a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.\u201d –Attributed to Confucius<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If there is one lesson that I have learned during my life as an analyst, it is the lesson that what my patients tell me is likely to be true \u2013 that many times when I believed that I was right and my patients were wrong, it turned out, though often only after a prolonged search, that my rightness was superficial, whereas their rightness was profound. –Heinz Kohut<\/p>\n

“Quitting smoking is easy. I’ve done it a 100 times.” ?–Mark Twain<\/p>\n

\u201cYou cannot solve a problem from the same consciousness that created it. You must learn to see the world anew.\u201d \u2013Albert Einstein<\/p>\n

“The only time a man should be looking down at another man is if the other man is on the ground and the man looking down at him and extending his hand to him so that he can help him up.” \u2013Author Unknown<\/p>\n

“Creativity exists in the spaces between ideas”. –David Wescott<\/p>\n

“Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming — WOW — What a ride!” \u2013 Anonymous<\/p>\n

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. –Marianne Williamson<\/p>\n
