our reactions QUOTES

1 " We do not observe reality, we observe our REACTIONS to it.

In other words:
Reality is, in essence, neutral. YOU give it meaning. "

― Gordana Biernat , #KnowTheTruth: Why Knowing Who You Are Changes Everything

3 " The deepest-lying and most pervasive part of character is disposition: it accompanies us everywhere, and shows itself in all we do. It is the attitude of the soul toward life, the way in which we accept our situation and our daily experiences. On the inner side it gives color and tone to our own conscious life: on the outer side it pervades and modifies our conduct toward others and our reactions to events. A good disposition is indispensable to good character, though of course not all of character; without it one cannot hope for perfection; even with it one may fail through lack of higher elements. It is a sort of foundation layer. "

5 " Habits are familiar and comfortable, putting our reactions on autopilot and often leading us, instead, to great discomfort. "

7 " The only way to understand the reason behind someone's hurtful behaviour is -

Understanding that every action is driven by an underlying emotion. Emotions especially the negative one's are our reactions to the conflict between our beliefs and reality.

The influence of these negative emotions, causes us to act in ways that hurt others.

So if someone hurts you, it actually indicates
that they have an unsatisfied need or a wound
that needs attention. "
