We need others.
We need others to love and we need to be loved by them.
There is no doubt that without it, we too,
like the infant left alone,
would cease to grow,
cease to develop,
choose madness and even death

We need others.
We need others to love and we need to be loved by them.
There is no doubt that without it, we too,

Everything can be taken from a man but one thing; the last of the human freedoms—
to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.”
Related to that wisdom is this:
Self–efficacy is a person’s belief in his or her ability to succeed in a particular situation.
Four ways we can build self-efficacy
1. Mastery Experience. In other words, PAST SUCCESS. Small and big wins from the past are GREAT ways to boost your current confidence. Create those wins, feast on them as you build your self-image as someone who succeeds (“That’s like me!!), and brings those past mastery experiences to mind when you’re facing current challenges.
2. Vicarious Learning. In other words, seeing someone else achieve the success YOU would like to achieve. The basic idea here: If they can do it, YOU can do it. KNOW that. DO NOT get envious of their success. Celebrate it. And say, “If they can do it, I can do it.”
3. Social Persuasion. In other words, someone tells you that you can achieve success. Like a coach. Or supportive parent or friend. “YOU’VE GOT THIS!!!” You can also persuade yourself through positive self-talk and an antifragile, confident mindset. And, remember to be the one persuading others of their potential!
4. Physiology. In other words, if you want to succeed, ACT like a successful person. Walk, talk, breathe, and carry yourself as if you’ve already achieved that which you aspire to achieve. Presence-101 style. Strike a power pose and go rock it

Bury the bad things of the past
As a new year now begins.

In the face of so much change,
what can I be sure of?
Rather dubious hopes,
certain misadventure.
I wave on these disillusions
in my long, useless illusion.
Time and age have given me
a different set of concerns.
I’m tired of change.
I prefer a pain that’s secure.
Vain hopes are for those
unaware of what they risk.
The definition of compassion: a sympathetic awareness of another’s distress, often through unconditional love.
What is the purpose of compassion?
Compassion is the quality that teaches that there is perfection in all things and that we are to have sympathy for others, even though they may not see things the way we do.
Compassion replaces judgment.

Love, like rain, can nourish from above,
drenching couples with a soaking joy.
But sometimes, under the angry heat of life,
Love dries on the surface and must nourish from below,
tending to its roots, keeping itself alive.
