Food For Thought - 16 - All Progress Depends On The Unreasonable

The True Measure Of A Man Is Not His Intelligence Or How High He Rises In This Freak Establishment. No, The True Measure Of A Man Is This: How Quickly Can He Respond To The Needs Of Others And How Much Of Himself He Can Give.
---- Philip K. Dick

“The Reasonable Man Adapts Himself To The World: The Unreasonable One Persists In Trying To Adapt The World To Himself. Therefore All Progress Depends On The Unreasonable Man.”
---- George Bernard Shaw

“Nature Loves Courage. You Make The Commitment And Nature Will Respond To That Commitment By Removing Impossible Obstacles. Dream The Impossible Dream And The World Will Not Grind You Under, It Will Lift You Up. This Is The Trick. This Is What All These Teachers And Philosophers Who Really Counted, Who Really Touched The Alchemical Gold, This Is What They Understood. This Is The Shamanic Dance In The Waterfall. This Is How Magic Is Done. By Hurling Yourself Into The Abyss And Discovering It's A Feather Bed.”
---- Terence McKenna

“It Is Easy In The World To Live After The World's Opinion; It Is Easy In Solitude To Live After Our Own; But The Great Man Is He Who In The Midst Of The Crowd Keeps With Perfect Sweetness The Independence Of Solitude.”
---- Ralph Waldo Emerson

This Is Hard To Say To People Without Offending Them, But It’s A Universal Truth Even For The Most High-Performing People On The Planet, So Here It Is: Your Self-Image Could Be A Lot Better, And You Ought To Be A Lot More Congruent In How You Engage The World. How We Think Of Ourselves (Our Self-Image) And How We Behave In Accordance With That Image In The Real World Is The Stuff Of Congruence. It’s One Of The Most Profoundly Powerful Drives We Have As Humans - To Live In Consistent Alignment With Who We Think We Are, How We Want Others To Perceive Us, And Who We Want To Become. When We Don’t Behave As The Person We Believe Ourselves To Be, We Feel “OFF,” “Out Of Sorts,” And, Often, Frustrated Or Angry. If We Think We’re Lions, For Example, But We Act As Mice, We Secretly Loath Our Selves.
---- Brendon Burchard
