For example, if you develop a habit of saying you 'hate' things - you 'hate' your hair; you 'hate' your job; you 'hate' having to do something - do you think this raises the intensity of your negative emotional states more than if you use a phrase like 'I prefer something else'?”
“Focus like a laser, not a flashlight”
“Set your mind on a definite goal and observe how quickly the world stands aside to let you pass.”
