“Whether my pupil be destined for the army, the church, or the bar, concerns me but little. Regardless of the vocation of his parents, nature summons him to the duties of human life. To live is the trade I wish to teach him. On leaving my hands, he will not, I grant, be a magistrate, a soldier, or a priest. First of all he will be a man; and all that a man ought to be, he can be when the occasion requires it, just as well as any one else can; and fortune will make him change his place in vain, for he will always be in his own.”

- Jean-Jacques Rousseau

Hold the Tomatoes

by Theresa Oswald, MD • November 21, 2009

I was talking with a friend about ways to deal with recurrent troubling thoughts. From years of experience with my own thoughts and many discussions with friends, it appears we all have thoughts that are unhelpful. If you are like me and have not found the off switch for the negative thought stream, here is an analogy that may be useful. Thoughts are like horsd’oeuvres. If you don’t like tomatoes, the bruschetta is not a problem if you don’t put it on your plate. The thoughts, like horsd’oeuvres being served at a party, will keep passing by but if they are not useful you can just leave them on the tray.

Happiness The Real Medicine

Blair begins by exploring a series of traits that happy people possess: quietude, self-restraint, endurance, disinterest in worldly charms, freedom from conflicts and distractions, and desire for happiness. He then offers a trove of natural tools that help us foster these traits in our own lives.
