Weakness of attitude becomes weakness of character.
I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.
If you can't change it.. change the way you think about it
Things turn out best for the people who make the best of the way things turn out.
If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude.
I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.
The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don't have any.
Sometimes good things fall apart so better things could fall together.
The most important thing is transforming our minds, for a new way of thinking, a new outlook: we should strive to develop a new inner world.
Misery is almost always the result of thinking.
Things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right.
I believe that everything happens for a reason.
The best way to predict the future is to study the past, or prognosticate.
Man would indeeded be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death.
You believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself.
The best way to predict the future is to create it.
The best way to predict the future is to invent it.
The only way you can sustain a permanent change is to create a new way of thinking, acting, and being.
The world exists on thousands of different levels and just because some are more tragic than others, it doesn't make them any more valid. You fall into that way of thinking and you become so overwhelmed by the world's suffering, you go mad.
Even in a remote monastery, you may still be remote from the truth! To find the truth, all you need is a sound way of thinking.
Coming from a background as unique as mine, the first challenge is being able to identify chaos as chaos. For the first half of my life, I interpreted chaos as normal. Today, I am aware that I have triggers: a default way of thinking that is often not relative to the immediate moment. Therefore, in the midst of chaos, I have learned to relinquish all my premature cognitive commitments and become present.
When I lived in New York, there wasn't as much TV or film around. I got asked to do a couple of indie films, just based on me being from The Smashing Pumpkins and A Perfect Circle. I did a couple of indie movies from Japan and one from Canada, and I thought it was an exciting, fun thing to do. I had a great time doing it, it was just that, in New York, there really wasn't as much. My studio in New York closed, so I moved out to L.A. and just started looking into composing as another thing to do, as a musician. I like it a lot. It's fun and it's a different way of thinking about music.
I think we have reached a stage now where we need to find solutions to economic injustice in the same place and in the same ways that we find solutions to sustainability. Sustainability on environmental grounds and justice in terms of everyone having a place in the production and consumption system - these are two aspects of the same issue.

A single, one-dimensional way of thinking has created a monoculture of the mind. And the monoculture of the mind has become a self-fulfilling prophecy. This is the root of why we have pitted equity against ecology and sustainability against justice.
A foolhardy lot, we accepted it all, as we always do, never asked: "What is going to happen to us now, with this invention of print?" In the same way, we never thought to ask, "How will our lives, our way of thinking, be changed by the internet, which has seduced a whole generation with its inanities so that even quite reasonable people will confess that, once they are hooked, it is hard to cut free, and they may find a whole day has passed in blogging etc?"
