What Richard is talking about is instead admitting to the existence of negative thoughts, understanding where they came from and why they arrived, and then - with great forgiveness and fortitude - dismissing them.

More quotes by Elizabeth Gilbert
I can see how the authorities could not like Todd [ Willingham], because he's not a person who is going to give you respect if you don't deserve it just because you say something.
Elizabeth Gilbert
So miss him. Send him some love and light every time you think about him, then drop it.
Elizabeth Gilbert
There is a reason they call God a presence - because God is right here, right now. In the present is the only place to find Him, and now is the only time.
Elizabeth Gilbert
Reality has taught us that no woman can build an honest life without sacrificing something along the way. Deciding what will be sacrificed is not easy.
Elizabeth Gilbert
I believe in miracles, I believe in the Law of Attraction, but even I don't think I'm big enough to manifest five Asian elephants cloaked in gold.
Elizabeth Gilbert
We alter and customize the thing every century, every generation, every day - both in the courts and in our own homes. And marriage accepts our modifications gracefully. Marriage adapts, evolves and (in a manner that I find miraculous and kind of inspiring) somehow keeps chugging along.

What are you willing to give up, in order to become who you really need to be?

I still can’t say whether I ever want children….I can only say how I feel now--grateful to be on my own. I also know that I won’t go forth and have children just in case I might regret missing it later in life I don’t think this is a strong enough motivation to bring more babies onto the earth.

Traveling-to-a-place energy and living-in-a-place energy are two fundamentally different energies

I have good idea, for if you meet some person from different religion and he want to make argument about God. My idea is, you listen to everything this man say about God. Never argue about God with him. Best thing to say is, 'I agree with you.' Then you go home, pray what you want. This is my idea for people to have peace about religion.
Elizabeth Gilbert
My heart was broken so badly last time that it still hurts. Isn't that crazy? To still have a broken heart almost two years after a love story ends?
Elizabeth Gilbert
You make some big grandoise decision about what you need to do, or who you need to be, and then circumstances arise that immediately reveal to you how little you understood about yourself.
Elizabeth Gilbert
You have now reached infatuation’s final destination—the complete and merciless devaluation of self.

Felipe and I, as we discover to our delight, are a perfectly matched, genetically engineered belly-to-belly success story.
Elizabeth Gilbert
I know this simple fact to be true, for I myself have abandoned people who did not want me to go, and I myself have been abandoned by those whom I begged to stay.
Elizabeth Gilbert
Everything really is going to be okay. (And if not okay, then at least comic.)
Elizabeth Gilbert
When I read the article [in The New Yorker] by David Grann, I was very struck by people responding to the article, of people thinking I was such a hero and what a wonderful person I was, and I didn't feel that at all. I felt like I had very much, like Todd [Willingham], taken a path of self-preservation.

Dear me, how I love a library.
