1 " The practice of Detachment encourages the positive aspects of your life to become dominant, while providing a clear path for the negative aspects to recede. "
― Gary Hopkins
2 " Above and beyond all else it must be borne in mind that hatred tends to dry up the springs of creative thought in the life of the hater, so that his resourcefulness becomes completely focused on the negative aspects of his environment. The urgent needs of the personality for creative expression are starved to death. A man's horizon may become so completely dominated by the intense character of his hatred that there remains no creative residue in his mind and spirit to give to great ideas, to great concepts. "
― Howard Thurman , Jesus and the Disinherited
3 " If you focus on good, you will excel and reach higher planes. if you dwell on the negative aspects of life, you will get nowhere fast. "
― Robin S. Sharma , Megaliving!: 30 Days to a Perfect Life - The Ultimate Action Plan for Total Mastery of Your Mind, Body and Character
4 " God told us to love everyone. However, when you don’t like someone then you need to walk away and focus not on him or her, but the hatred you’re harboring. Otherwise, you will allow your piety to take over. Before you know it, you’re using the gospel as a sword to slice other religious people apart, which have offended you. From your point of helplessness, it will be is easy to recruit people that will mistake your kindness as righteousness, when in reality it is a hidden agenda to humiliate through the words of Christ. This game is so often used by women in the Christian faith, that it is the number one reason why many people become inactive. It is a silent, unspoken hypocrisy that is inconsistent with the teachings of the gospel. If you choose not to like someone, then avoid them. If you wish to love them, the only way to overcome your frustrations is through empathy, prayer, forgiveness and allowing yourself time to heal through distance. Try focusing on what you share as sisters in the gospel, rather than the negative aspects you dislike about that person. "
― Shannon L. Alder
