Nurse Duckett found Yossarian wonderful and was already trying to change him. ~ Joseph Heller
Trying To Change quotes by Joseph Heller
On the red carpet, I'm playing a character. As soon as I get off that thing, I think, 'Oof, wipe that gloss off.' I'm wiping and wiping and pulling my hair out and trying to change my outfit. I'm immediately trying to get comfortable. It's really a part I play. ~ Jessica Biel
Trying To Change quotes by Jessica Biel
I just like food too much, and I don't want to change. I spent so much of childhood trying to change, and I just got sick of it ... I don't want to look like Britney Spears, I just don't want to. She's hideous. ~ Beth Ditto
Trying To Change quotes by Beth Ditto
Static people love to compensate for their inability to change themselves by always trying to change the world. ~ Criss Jami
Trying To Change quotes by Criss Jami
I wish for that time back. All that time that was supposed to be about discovering the world and who I was became wasted on making myself smaller and smaller. Imagine if we all stopped expending so much energy on trying to change our bodies. We could do anything we dreamed of. We could get shit done. ~ Megan Jayne Crabbe
Trying To Change quotes by Megan Jayne Crabbe
In order to change, you need to stop fearing the change but instead fear the results of NOT trying to change. What happens if you don't jump? What happens if you stay where you are right now? Isn't the greatest risk the risk of doing nothing?
Exist or risk. Dream or do.
Fear not changing, and you will change your life. ~ Rachel Marie Martin
Trying To Change quotes by Rachel Marie  Martin
You can't imagine hip-hop without the Black Panthers. Today, hopefully, the movement can be an inspiration to people. These were people who made mistakes but they were trying to change things. ~ Stanley Nelson Jr.
Trying To Change quotes by Stanley Nelson Jr.
What sets 'Some Nights' apart from anything we've ever done is the hip-hop influence. Not so much the actual sound of hip-hop, but more the vibrato and the artistry that comes with it. Right now, the artists that seem to be pushing to be the greatest artists and are trying to change the world are hip-hop artists. ~ Jack Antonoff
Trying To Change quotes by Jack Antonoff
Perhaps they suspected that I thought less of them because I knew it. (I'm too aware of human frailty to have let that happen. If anything, I thought more of them for wanting to face up to what they had done and for trying to change.) ~ Harold S. Kushner
Trying To Change quotes by Harold S. Kushner
People try to change too much at once and it becomes overwhelming, and they end up falling off the program. So gradually changing bad habits makes much more of a difference than trying to change them all at once. ~ Ian K. Smith
Trying To Change quotes by Ian K. Smith
But sometimes you can spend a lot of sorrow trying to change things for the better, when what was first was best. Its only you were too foolish to realize it. ~ Marisa Silver
Trying To Change quotes by Marisa Silver
Undressing him reminds me of trying to change a sleepy, uncooperative four-year-old into his pajamas.-Dom ~ Daria Snadowsky
Trying To Change quotes by Daria Snadowsky
It's just this pain, this unbearable mental pain – often it's your body too, and every part of you hurts. But you don't really care about your body, it's your mind. Every thought hurts like hell. Everything you see is awful, twisted, pointless. And the worst – the worst of it is yourself. You realize you are the most ghastly person in the world, the most hideous, inside and out. And you just want to escape, you just want to get rid of yourself, of your suffering, of the pain inside your head. You want to shut out the world and yourself, for ever. A-and death is the only option left because you've been through this time and time again, thought and thought about trying to change yourself, the way you think, the way you behave, the way you live. Yet it always comes back to this – the fact that you just d-don't want to be alive - ~ Tabitha Suzuma
Trying To Change quotes by Tabitha Suzuma
When we really understand the fact of separate realities, we will stop spending so much time and energy trying to change the reality of others ~ Jane Nelsen
Trying To Change quotes by Jane Nelsen
Hurt people hurt people. We are not being judgmental by separating ourselves from such people. But we should do so with compassion. Compassion is defined as a "keen awareness of the suffering of another coupled with a desire to see it relieved." People hurt others as a result of their own inner strife and pain. Avoid the reactive response of believeing they are bad; they already think so and are acting that way. They aren't bad; they are damaged and they deserve compassion. Note that compassion is an internal process, an understanding of the painful and troubled road trod by another. It is not trying to change or fix that person. ~ Will Bowen
Trying To Change quotes by Will Bowen
During my Austin years, I was drawing a regular strip for the University Of Texas newspaper, going to school, delivering blood, and trying to change my approach and 'style' as much as I could, since I knew that I'd calcify as I got older. ~ Chris Ware
Trying To Change quotes by Chris Ware
Q: When emotions are transmuted, that doesn't mean they disappear, does it? A: Not necessarily, but they are transmuted into other forms of energy. If we are trying to be good or peaceful, trying to suppress or subdue our emotions, that is the basic twist of ego in operation. We are being aggressive toward our emotions, trying forcefully to achieve peace or goodness. Once we cease being aggressive toward our emotions, cease trying to change them, once we experience them properly, then transmutation may take place. The irritating quality of the emotions is transmuted once you experience them as they are. Transmutation does not mean that the energy quality of the emotions is eliminated; in fact it is transformed into wisdom, which is very much needed. ~ Chogyam Trungpa
Trying To Change quotes by Chogyam Trungpa
Trying to change the world is like trying to straighten the curly tail of a dog. Try as you might, it will still go hack to its natural curl. Your hands will become stronger from the exercise of trying to straighten the curly tail. Although you max' not he able to change the world, you would have acquired more spiritual strength within - and that alone will make a difference in the world. ~ Mata Amritanandamayi
Trying To Change quotes by Mata Amritanandamayi
I find that people who give up trying to change themselves tend to want to change other people. ~ Brian Ming
Trying To Change quotes by Brian Ming
Despite his attempts to alter his destiny - joining the worst cohort, trying to change the camp traditions, taking the least glamorous missions, and befriending the least popular kids - he had been made praetor anyway. ~ Rick Riordan
Trying To Change quotes by Rick Riordan
At that moment, when you feel like you were born into the wrong society or culture, you have a few choices. You can ignore the gap between the world around you and what you feel within. There are lots of ways to do this, from TV to drugs to desperately trying to succeed within the world's big social inventions. Another way is to rail at the world for its failings, creating a narrative in which you are right and "they" are wrong. Or you can be humbled by trying to change the world around you just enough to realize your own potential. ~ Ron Davison
Trying To Change quotes by Ron Davison
Since I'm a novelist I'm the opposite of you - I believe that what's most important is what cannot be measured. I'm not denying your way of thinking, but the greater part of people's lives consist of things that are unmeasurable, and trying to change all these to something measurable is realistically impossible. ~ Haruki Murakami
Trying To Change quotes by Haruki Murakami
I say the same thing that I've said for decades now, which is: don't go over to Japan trying to change it, thinking that you know better. Go there trying to understand. ~ Bruce Feiler
Trying To Change quotes by Bruce Feiler
Yeah. It's impossible. Giving up just like that before you even started. Not even trying to change, to you it's impossible to change. Are you going to forever beat yourself down? ~ Kayoru
Trying To Change quotes by Kayoru
And now, I'm just trying to change the world, one sequin at a time. ~ Lady Gaga
Trying To Change quotes by Lady Gaga
I'm trying to change the way people approach knowledge and information in general. I think that to try to own knowledge, to try to control whether people are allowed to use it, or to try to stop other people from sharing it, is sabotage. ~ Richard Stallman
Trying To Change quotes by Richard Stallman
What would life be like if we shifted from trying to change someone's mind ...to touching everyone's heart? ~ Rasheed Ogunlaru
Trying To Change quotes by Rasheed Ogunlaru
I'm just trying to change my life because I'm not above killing any drug dealer for money ~ Mike Tyson
Trying To Change quotes by Mike Tyson
Trying to change someone only makes them cling to their existing behavior with brutish, primal force. ~ Brian D'Ambrosio
Trying To Change quotes by Brian D'Ambrosio
You will be attacked for trying to change anything. ~ Donald J. Trump
Trying To Change quotes by Donald J. Trump
The trying to change what they think, the attempt to explain, the hope they'll come to see your side of things, it was exhausting because it never made a dent and afterward you only ached unbearably. ~ Marisha Pessl
Trying To Change quotes by Marisha Pessl
- "How about flipping a coin;" she made a pretty remark and the two women turned around and
looked at her irritated.
- "That's right, go ahead, jock about it. You are not the one trying to change her heart, I am, and you
know damn well how painful that can be!"
Sand of Passion ~ Georgia Kakalopoulou
Trying To Change quotes by Georgia Kakalopoulou
Fuck waiting for the world to change you; you start by trying to change it. And if you are pure of heart and your intentions are good, you can't lose. Even if nothing happens, you can't lose. ~ Ron Perlman
Trying To Change quotes by Ron Perlman
If you begin to understand what you are without trying to change it, then what you are undergoes a transformation. ~ Jiddu Krishnamurti
Trying To Change quotes by Jiddu Krishnamurti
They changed the press conference, they are trying to change the time of the weigh-in. They are trying to mess with me, but what they don't realize is that they are only fueling me to bring more hurt. ~ David Haye
Trying To Change quotes by David Haye
You didn't like him, did you, Dad?"
"It wasn't that I didn't like him," my dad says slowly. "It was just that he lives in a completely different world, and I worried that he didn't really approve of you the way you are, that he was trying to change you into something else."
God, I never realized my dad was that perceptive..
"You see, the thing is," he says after we've both sat for a while in the sunshine, "the thing is that love is really the most important thing. I know it's hard for you to see it now" - he chuckles quietly- "but when I first laid eyes on your mother I thought she was fantastic, and I've never stopped loving her, not for a second. Oh yes, we've had our rough patches, and she can be a bit of an old battle-ax at times, but I still love her. That in-love feeling at the beginning settles down into a different, familiar sort of love, but it has to be there right from the start, otherwise it just won't work. ~ Jane Green
Trying To Change quotes by Jane Green
A Christian marriage is [not] one with no problems or even a marriage with fewer problems. (It may well mean more problems.) But it does mean a life in which two people are able to accept each other and love each other in the midst of problems and fears. It means a marriage in which selfish people can accept selfish people without constantly trying to change them
and even accept themselves, because they realize personally that they have been accepted by Christ. ~ Keith Miller
Trying To Change quotes by Keith Miller
You are always trying to change me. Gosh, I wish you would stop trying to change me - and see me for who I really am and not who you want me to be. ~ Charlena E. Jackson
Trying To Change quotes by Charlena E.  Jackson
Do not try to change someone, when you do this you deny the Love inside you by choosing to deny what is Now. Love can only exist now, when you try to change someone into an idea of what you want them to be you have decided to be in a relationship with your projection of a possible potential of someone else. You are fooling yourself if you think trying to change someone will make you happy. Instead, change in yourself the things you think the other person should change. This is why you are not happy and fulfilled now. ~ Jackson Kiddard
Trying To Change quotes by Jackson Kiddard
I think that sometimes when you get used to a bad thing
like being in prison or getting kidnapped by fairies
it's better to live with that bad thing than trying to change it. Because what if you get to chance to change it and you mess up? What if it's your last chance? ~ Carol Goodman
Trying To Change quotes by Carol Goodman
Girls are taught to sing high and pretty, like Antony, not low and from the guts like Nina Simone. But we're slowly trying to change that. There are so many things we're not told growing up, and it's our true feminist responsibility to take the truth to the people who need to hear it. ~ Beth Ditto
Trying To Change quotes by Beth Ditto
I wanted to start over completely, to begin again as new people with nothing of the past left over. I wanted to run away from who we had been seen to be, who we had been ... It's the first thing I think of when trouble comes - the geographic solution. Change your name, leave town, disappear, make yourself over. What hides behind that impulse is the conviction that the life you have lived, the person you are, is valueless, better off abandoned, that running away is easier than trying to change things, that change itself is not possible. ~ Dorothy Allison
Trying To Change quotes by Dorothy Allison
This past year - if you'd have tried, you'd have seen even more clearly the futility of trying to change the world without the efforts of everybody else on Earth. You saw and smelled and drank the evidence of six billion disasters that can only be mended by six billion people. || A thousands years ago this wouldn't have been the case. If human beings had suddenly vanished a thousand years ago, the planet would have healed overnight with no damage. Maybe a few lumps where the pyramids sand. One hundred years ago - or even fifty years ago - the world would have healed itself just fine in the absence of people. But not now. We crossed the line. the only thing that can keep the planet turning smoothly now is human free will forged into effort. Nothing else. That's why the world has seemed so large in the past few years, and time so screwy. It's because Earth is now totally ours. ~ Douglas Coupland
Trying To Change quotes by Douglas Coupland
Since the beginning of time, people have been trying to change the world so that they can be happy. This hasn't ever worked, because it approaches the problem backward. What The Work gives us is a way to change the projector - mind - rather than the projected. It's like when there's a piece of lint on a projector's lens. We think there's a flaw on the screen, and we try to change this person and that person, whomever the flaw appears on next. But it's futile to try to change the projected images. Once we realize where the lint is, we can clear the lens itself. This is the end of suffering, and the beginning of a little joy in paradise. ~ Byron Katie
Trying To Change quotes by Byron Katie
CEOs of top companies could probably use a dose of not-asking-for-raise behavior and less self-entitlement, rather than us trying to change girls in order to fit into the common mold of what we think a CEO looks like. ~ Adora Svitak
Trying To Change quotes by Adora Svitak
Just watch this moment, without trying to change it at all. What is happening? What do you feel? What do you see? What do you hear? ~ Jon Kabat-Zinn
Trying To Change quotes by Jon Kabat-Zinn
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy

There are almost no pure cognitive or behavioral therapists. Instead, most therapists use a combination of both techniques. This is known as cognitive-behavioral therapy. It is generally recognized as the best therapy for social anxiety.
In cognitive-behavioral therapy, a therapist helps you identity maladaptive thinking patterns and replace them with new ways of thinking. He or she also teaches you relaxation techniques and new behaviors that make you feel more comfortable in social situations.
Cognitive-behavioral therapy uses many of the same techniques that we explored in the previous chapter. Although you might make great strides on your own, sometimes it is easier and faster to have someone guide you. Often it is difficult for people to explore hidden beliefs about themselves. A professional therapist is experienced in working with people who are trying to change. Often a therapist will see connections in your situation that you cannot.

Carlos was terrified of speaking in class. Whenever the teacher called on him, his heart raced, he blushed, and his stomach felt upset.
His therapist first had him focus on his thoughts during class. As an experiment, she had him purposely answer a question incorrectly during biology class. To his surprise, the teacher didn't make a big deal out of it, and the other students didn't laugh. As a result, Carlos realized that his imagined consequences for making errors were gr ~ Heather Moehn
Trying To Change quotes by Heather Moehn
Trying to change someone, and their views, is like throwing paper into a fire. ~ Anthony Liccione
Trying To Change quotes by Anthony Liccione
With wisdom comes the rare ability to tell whether or not trying to change someone's mind would be a waste of time. ~ Mokokoma Mokhonoana
Trying To Change quotes by Mokokoma Mokhonoana
because it's easier to pay our taxes than to risk our livelihoods by trying to change the system. ~ Linda Nagata
Trying To Change quotes by Linda Nagata
Because your life is a reflection of your inner Self, causality comes exclusively in changing your own nature, not trying to change the external world out there by manipulating it. ~ Thomas Daniel Nehrer
Trying To Change quotes by Thomas Daniel Nehrer
Meditation does not involve trying to change your thinking by thinking some more. It involves watching thought itself. The watching is the holding. By watching your thoughts without being drawn into them, you can learn something profoundly liberating about thinking itself, which may help you to be less of a prisoner of those thought patterns (….) ~ Jon Kabat-Zinn
Trying To Change quotes by Jon Kabat-Zinn
I think in terms of being a New Yorker, as my friends would say, I don't take a lot of mess. I have no tolerance for people who are not thinking deeply about things. I have no tolerance for the kind of small talk that people need to fill silence. And I have no tolerance for people just not being a part of the world and being in it and trying to change it. ~ Jacqueline Woodson
Trying To Change quotes by Jacqueline Woodson
Trying to change yourself is as hard as trying to change the universe. Maybe there's no difference. The fact is, shit happens none of us plan on. ~ Tom Spanbauer
Trying To Change quotes by Tom Spanbauer
Trying to change others is a smokescreen, start by changing yourself then others will copy from you. ~ Auliq Ice
Trying To Change quotes by Auliq Ice
I AM wealthy, poor, healthy, sick, free, confined were first of all impressions or conditions felt before they became visible expressions. Your world is your consciousness objectified. Waste no time trying to change the outside; change the within or the impression; and the without or expression will take care of itself. When the truth of this statement dawns upon you, you will know that you have found the lost word or the key to every door. I AM (your consciousness) is the magical lost word which was made flesh in the likeness of that which you are conscious of being. ~ Neville Goddard
Trying To Change quotes by Neville Goddard
There is nothing to be gained by trying to change reality. I know this. Completely. And yet. And. Yet. ~ Susan Juby
Trying To Change quotes by Susan Juby
I'm still trying to change the way people see black dancers that we can become delicate dancers, that we can be a ballerina, ~ Michaela DePrince
Trying To Change quotes by Michaela DePrince
So I started to learn Russian and I was one of those probably way too eager, annoying young actor kids who was trying to change all my lines to Russian, much to the dismay of the director and Nic Cage. ~ Jared Leto
Trying To Change quotes by Jared Leto
Life is too short to be trying to change water into wine. The goal is to find someone who (already is) what you want. ~ Kevin Darne
Trying To Change quotes by Kevin Darne
Were we all like that? Were we all trying to change how we looked on the outside to match how we felt on the inside? Were we all trying to change how people saw us? ~ Cecil Castellucci
Trying To Change quotes by Cecil Castellucci
Those barbaric contraptions at the gym intimidate me. I once sprained my wrist trying to change the amount of weight resistance on a rowing machine, and have you seen all the different strap, rope, and handle attachments for the cable machine? Half of them look like sex toys for horses. ~ R.S. Grey
Trying To Change quotes by R.S. Grey
Music is supposed to be entertaining and if it touches you emotionally, so much the better. Sometimes you do it to save your own life, not anybody else's. That's why I write. I'm not trying to change anybody else's life or the world, I'm trying to keep from blowing my own brains out. That's the real point. ~ Guy Clark
Trying To Change quotes by Guy Clark
Trying to change the outside by making changes to the outside, is like trying to make your lips red in your reflection by putting lipstick on the mirror! ~ Odille Rault
Trying To Change quotes by Odille Rault
We hold each other and I'm shaking, because I'm thinking how close I came to losing her. If she'd been closer to ground zero in San Diego, she'd be dead now. So many people are dead, because for decades citizens like me and my dad, my uncle, and Lissa's parents - good people - quietly financed war after war because it's easier to pay our taxes than to risk our livelihoods by trying to change the system. Our silence let wealth accumulate in the hands of people like Thelma Sheridan, people who came to believe they could buy absolutely anything, even innocence. ~ Linda Nagata
Trying To Change quotes by Linda Nagata
Trying to change the outer is like seeing your unclean or unshaven face in the mirror and trying to shave or clean the mirror. ~ Joe Vitale
Trying To Change quotes by Joe Vitale
Resistance to anything is like trying to change the outside pictures after they have been transmitted. It's a futile pursuit. ~ Rhonda Byrne
Trying To Change quotes by Rhonda Byrne
Do you like vegetables?" Sophie asked, hoping to steer the conversation towards a slightly less dangerous kind of food.
"You is trying to change the subject," the Giant said sternly. "We is having an interesting babblement about the taste of the human bean. The human bean is not a vegetable. ~ Roald Dahl
Trying To Change quotes by Roald Dahl
She's trying to change the subject, even though we weren't speaking out loud. ~ Colleen Hoover
Trying To Change quotes by Colleen Hoover
In our everyday life we are usually trying to do something, trying to change something into something else, or trying to attain something. Just this trying is already in itself an expression of our true nature. The meaning lies in the effort itself. We should find out the meaning of our effort before we attain something. ~ Shunryu Suzuki
Trying To Change quotes by Shunryu Suzuki
I tell them that there is nothing more selfish than trying to change someone's mind because they don't think like you. Just because something is different does not mean it should not be respected. I ~ Jodi Picoult
Trying To Change quotes by Jodi Picoult
Early in my career, people wanted to hear music about protest, about trying to change things. ~ Ice Cube
Trying To Change quotes by Ice Cube
Trying to change old habits is like fighting a war in your head - a draining and exhausting skirmish that makes you wonder at your chance of survival. ~ Richelle E. Goodrich
Trying To Change quotes by Richelle E. Goodrich
Stop trying to change reality by attempting to eliminate complexity. ~ David Whyte
Trying To Change quotes by David Whyte
How do you change the inevitable? The act of trying to change it could actually cause it to happen. ~ Travis Luedke
Trying To Change quotes by Travis Luedke
I just try to get people to laugh - I'm not trying to change the world or anything. ~ Drew Carey
Trying To Change quotes by Drew Carey
My whole point," I said, "is that what they teach here, what they believe, if you don't trust it, if you doubt it at all, then you're told that you're going to hell, that not only everyone you know is ashamed of you, but that Jesus himself has given up on your soul. And if you're like Mark, and you do believe all of this, you really do - you have faith in Jesus and this stupid Promise system, and even still, even with those things, you still can't make yourself good enough, because what you're trying to change isn't changeable, it's like your height or the shape of your ears, whatever, then it's like this place does make things happen to you, or at least it's supposed to convince you that you're always gonna be a dirty sinner and that it's completely your fault because you're not trying hard enough to change yourself. It convinced Mark. ~ Emily M. Danforth
Trying To Change quotes by Emily M. Danforth
The big mistake I made, however, was in trying to change the system instead of just changing myself. ~ Leah Remini
Trying To Change quotes by Leah Remini
Whenever you bring up women's internal workings, guys want to change the subject. Unless, of course, they're trying to change the laws. ~ Gail Collins
Trying To Change quotes by Gail Collins
I'll say about Fueled By Ramen is, I don't know what anyone else's experience has been, but we signed to them as Fun. We already had a fanbase, we already had music out there so when they signed us they were signing our vision. I always think it's so weird when people think that Fueled By Raman are trying to change us or mould us into something else, as we weren't a bunch of kids playing in a garage who joined a label and then collectively worked on a vision, like, they signed us with the intention of letting us be Fun. ~ Jack Antonoff
Trying To Change quotes by Jack Antonoff
I am a strong believer in the ability of human beings to change for the better. I am a strong believer in trying to change what we are dissatisfied with. ~ Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
Trying To Change quotes by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
Here we will see that pharmaceutical companies spend tens of billions of pounds every year trying to change the treatment decisions of doctors: in fact, they spend twice as much on marketing and advertising as they do on the research and development of new drugs. Since we all want doctors to prescribe medicine based on evidence, and evidence is universal, there is only one possible reason for such huge spends: to distort evidence-based practice. ~ Ben Goldacre
Trying To Change quotes by Ben Goldacre
It all boils down to one thing...it is your 'relationship' to the source, and that relationship to that which we call God, or don't call God, or don't even know...is God. It is ALL that really matters...when you surrender, and stop resisting, and stop trying to change that which you cannot change, but be in the moment, be fully open to the blessings you have already received, and those that are yet to come to you, and stand in that space of gratitude, and honor, and claim that for yourself, and look at where you are, and how far you have come, and what you've gotten, and what you've accomplished, and who you are. When you can claim 'that', and see that, the literal vibration of your life will change. The Vibration of Your Life Will Change. ~ Oprah Winfrey
Trying To Change quotes by Oprah Winfrey
A lot of times we set ourselves up to fail. It's interesting. A lot of times the resolutions we choose are the ones, like you said in the opening, we keep breaking over and over again. Sometimes it reflects parts of ourselves that we really need to accept instead of trying to change. ~ Cheryl Richardson
Trying To Change quotes by Cheryl Richardson
Are you appalled at existing conditions? Don't waste your energy trying to change conditions from without! Change the Human Heart from within. ~ William J.H. Boetcker
Trying To Change quotes by William J.H. Boetcker
If it's a good song and it fits me, that's what I'm going to do, I'm not out there trying to change the world. I'm just out there trying to sing country music the best way I can. ~ George Strait
Trying To Change quotes by George Strait
Changing a man was never a goal of mine, and I disliked women who fell in love with the idea of a man only to then spend the rest of their lives trying to change him to be what they wanted. ~ Nina Levine
Trying To Change quotes by Nina Levine
Denigrating ourselves is probably the major way that we cover over bodhichitta [open heart]. Does not trying to change mean we have to remain angry and addicted until the day we die? This is a reasonable question. Trying to change ourselves doesn't work in the long run because we're resisting our own energy. Self-improvement can have temporary results, but lasting transformation occurs only when we honor ourselves as the source of wisdom and compassion. We are, as the eighth-century Buddhist master Shantideva pointed out, very much like a blind person who finds a jewel buried in a heap of garbage. Right here in what we'd like to throw away, in what we find repulsive and frightening, we discover the warmth and clarity of bodhichitta. ~ Pema Chodron
Trying To Change quotes by Pema Chodron
I see things going on before my eyes and I photograph them as they are, without trying to change them. I don't warn people beforehand. That's why I'm a chronicler. I speak about us and I speak about myself. ~ Martin Parr
Trying To Change quotes by Martin Parr
Trying to change someone is easier than trying to accept them It's how we're programmed ~ Katie Kacvinsky
Trying To Change quotes by Katie Kacvinsky
I've certainly had to go through trying to change the fact that I was always identified as the widow of Notorious B.I.G. You know, I'm never going to be able to get away from having been married to him, but that's not what identifies me. You know, my life isn't just about that. ~ Faith Evans
Trying To Change quotes by Faith Evans
When you're writing a screenplay every scene needs to change from positive to negative, or negative to positive, and constantly trying to change the values of the movie. ~ Sam De Jong
Trying To Change quotes by Sam De Jong
Stop trying to change things that can't be changed. ~ Brigitta Moon
Trying To Change quotes by Brigitta Moon
The first order of things to be changed is me, the leader. After I consider how hard it is to change myself, then I will understand the challenge of trying to change others. This is the ultimate test of leadership. ~ John C. Maxwell
Trying To Change quotes by John C. Maxwell
If you would truly rather be dead than go on living the way you do, you have nothing to lose by trying to change things, have you?" Britta said, carefully keeping any trace of pity from her voice. "There is more to life than Illica, you now. The world is wide, and full of wonders. ~ Emily Rodda
Trying To Change quotes by Emily Rodda
Real love is accepting other people the way they are without trying to change them. If we try to change them, this means we don't really like them. ~ Miguel Ruiz
Trying To Change quotes by Miguel Ruiz
I'm not trying to change the face of hip-hop music. I'm trying to make my records and always take the next step for me. ~ El-P
Trying To Change quotes by El-P
Well, that's your opinion, isn't it? And I'm not about to waste my time trying to change it. ~ Lady Gaga
Trying To Change quotes by Lady Gaga
My first car was an '84 Ford Taurus. It caught on fire from me trying to change the fuel pump, so that wasn't good at all. Dried leaves on the ground while I was trying to change the fuel pump. Don't do that. Do it on concrete. ~ T-Pain
Trying To Change quotes by T-Pain
I'm trying to change the world. ~ Kid Cudi
Trying To Change quotes by Kid Cudi
