Way
(page 13)
I want to be judged by who I am, not what I am. I mean, I am Johnny Weir. Judge me the way you see me, love me the way you see me, hate me the way you see me.
We cannot change our past. We can not change the fact that people act in a certain way. We can not change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude.
One way to get the most out of life is to look upon it as an adventure.
Wellness is not a 'medical fix' but a way of living — a lifestyle sensitive and responsive to all the dimensions of body, mind, and spirit, an approach to life we each design to achieve our highest potential for well-being now and forever.
If nature offers no home, then we must make a home one way or another. The only question is how.
When our bodies are sick and people extend their sympathy, bring us soup, offer up solutions. When our minds are sick, people tend to shy away from you, be afraid, or call you outright crazy. I'm fascinated by the way society and individuals view mental illness, and most of my shorts comment on that.
A lot of people preach and talk, but I think the only way to preach is to actually do things.
I am a person who believes in asking questions, in not conforming for the sake of conforming. I am deeply dissatisfied — about so many things, about injustice, about the way the world works — and in some ways, my dissatisfaction drives my storytelling.
Life is not what it's supposed to be. It's what it is. The way you cope with it is what makes the difference.
As our values are the core to who we are as human beings, they are also the easiest way to identify and connect with others in meaningful ways. Think about it — most political campaigns are based around values. Barack Obama's 2008 election campaign galvanized millions of youth behind two very clear values — hope and change.
I think for leadership positions, emotional intelligence is more important than cognitive intelligence. People with emotional intelligence usually have a lot of cognitive intelligence, but that's not always true the other way around.
I know that in life there will be sickness, devastation, disappointments, heartache — it's a given. What's not a given is the way you choose to get through it all. If you look hard enough, you can always find the bright side.
A little perspective, like a little humor, goes a long way.
There is only one way to happiness and that is to cease worrying about things which are beyond the power of our will.
I am extraordinarily patient, provided I get my own way in the end.
Coincidence is God's way of remaining anonymous.
The only way round is through.
By the way, intelligence to me isn't just being book-smart or having a college degree; it's trusting your gut instincts, being intuitive, thinking outside the box, and sometimes just realizing that things need to change and being smart enough to change it.
No one can find inner peace except by working, not in a self-centered way, but for the whole human family.
Mothers play an important role as the heart of the home, but this in no way lessens the equally important role fathers should play, as head of the home, in nurturing, training, and loving their children.
