About This Quote

He not only continually avoided the negative, He always pursued the positive. We can’t just say we want something to happen and then ignore it. That’s like saying we want a hot dog and then turning our noses up because we don’t get one. We might as well say we don’t want it and then go hungry. The reason why we can be so critical of things sometimes is because we don’t really want what we think we want.
