View of the Week: On Anger....

As we go "dark"and gear up for a new week throughout #Outsiders , we wanted to share this courtesy of +Jonathan Huie which we follow closely here @ #Outsiders that underscores some poignant advise as a new week dawns here throughout the #Outsiders network:

Anger is a killing thing: it kills the man who angers, for each rage leaves him less than he had been before - it takes something from him. - Louis L'Amour Anger, if not restrained, is frequently more hurtful to us than the injury that provokes it. - Lucius Annaeus Seneca No one can make you jealous, angry, vengeful, or greedy - unless you let him. - Napoleon Hill It is impossible for you to be angry and laugh at the same time. Anger and laughter are mutually exclusive and you have the power to choose either. - Wayne Dyer Anger is a Dagger Twisted into the Soul of the World. - Jonathan Lockwood Huie

Nonetheless, the hedge fund manager and philanthropist is concerned that a laser focus on profits is, as he puts it, "threatening the very underpinnings of society." In this thoughtful, passionate talk, he outlines his planned counter-offensive, which centers on the concept of "justness." Watch »

Thought 4 the Week

As A new quarter dawns here in the #Outsider network, we wanted to release two thoughts on being thankful and staying focused:

“It’s a troublesome world. All the people who’re in it
are troubled with troubles almost every minute.
You ought to be thankful, a whole heaping lot,
for the places and people you’re lucky you’re not.”
~ Dr. Seuss

& Not forgetting this: 

Onward to the New Quarter with all its' possibilities.....

Thought(s) For the Week: On Being Yourself

For this edition of "Thought(s) for the Week" here in #Outsiders, we view these courtesy of the ever perceptive +Jonathan Huie was quite timely in assessing a simple thing:  Being yourself.    Creating a Vision of the Possible begins with it:

 

Since you are the one who has to live with your choices,

be sure they are your own.

- Alan Cohen

Be simply yourself and don't compare or compete.

- Lao Tzu

In the long run, we shape our lives, and we shape ourselves.

The process never ends until we die.

And the choices we make are ultimately our own responsibility.

- Eleanor Roosevelt

Trust your own inner guidance.

Have faith that your steps are

carrying you toward your dreams.

Keep your eyes on the heavens

and believe that your feet will carry you well.

- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
