Illusions are the truths we live by until we know better.

-          Nancy Gibbs

If I am not for myself, who is for me?

If I am only for myself, what am I?

If not now, when?

-          Hillel

Don’t part with your illusions. When they are gone you may still exist, but you have ceased to live.

-          Mark Twain

It is our illusions that create the world.

-          Didier Cauwelaert

Photography, as we all know, is not real at all. It is an illusion of reality with which we create our own private world.

-          Arnold Newman

I have realized that the past and future are real illusions, that they exist in the present, which is what there is and all there is.

-          Alan Watts

Illusions are art, for the feeling person, and it is by art that we live, if we do.

-          Elizabeth Bowen

It is respectable to have illusions – and safe – and profitable, and dull.

-          Joseph Conrad

I’ve looked at life from both sides now

From win and lose and still somehow

It’s life’s illusions I recall

I really don’t know life at all.

-          Joni Mitchell

Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.

-          Albert Einstein

A person knows nothing…

But a person does believe, think, imagine, make up, recall and guess a lot.

Emotional Competency

Well, well, well…  I did not have time to write anything.  Not that I really wanted.  But there is good news – after all this time, after all my efforts, I suddenly came to realize who I am, the good, the bad and the ugly.  It is a revelation, you could laugh at it all you want, but I was blind.  Now I am upset, but hopeful.  I am back to square one.  The April Fool Joke is all on me.  Well I am Fool and a grandiose Fool at that, but at least now I realize it.  What a relief!!!

“Don’t ignore the past.  It is the place where we keep who we were and who we’ve grown from.”

“What is madness but nobility of soul at odds with circumstance.”

“The way you see it is never the way it is.”

“Your truth is never the Truth.”

I am glad that I had the courage to look at the things they are now and regret that it took me so long.  But it is what it is and it is imperative to press forward.

Since there is no time to waste, I am not quite sure whether to continue updating my site or abandon it altogether.  Until I make a decision to quit, I will try and make short posts.

There is one site I found, which I intend to explore –

http://www.emotionalcompetency.com/

you can do it too – that is my suggestion for the day.

There are a few lines that drew me in

Passion + Reason = Constructive Action. This is the essence of emotional competency.
