Quote

You have to feel the bad to be able to feel the good.

When you feel good is when you're not afraid to feel the worst.

What happens when we're willing to feel bad is that, sure enough, we often feel bad - but without the stress of futile avoidance. Emotional discomfort, when accepted, rises, crests, and falls in a series of waves. Each wave washes parts of us away and deposits treasures we never imagined.

It's never as good as it feels, and it's never as bad as it seems.

No matter what happens to us in life, we tend to think of it as 'good' or 'bad.' And most of us tend to use the 'bad' label three to 10 times as often as the 'good' label. And when we say something is bad, the odds grow overwhelming that we will experience it as such.

It is better to look good than to feel good.

It's sort of my job to feel good.

If you want to feel good, you have to go out and do some good.
