Human behavior flows from three main sources: desire, emotion, and knowledge.

Human behavior flows from three main sources: desire, emotio

Summary

This quote suggests that the actions and choices made by individuals are influenced by three fundamental factors: their desires, emotions, and the knowledge they possess. Desire plays a role in driving human behavior, as people are motivated by their wants and needs. Emotions, such as fear, joy, or anger, also impact behavior as they can influence decision-making and actions taken. Lastly, knowledge, including information, understanding, and experiences, guides human behavior by providing the necessary awareness and understanding to make informed decisions. This quote acknowledges that these three sources intertwine and shape human actions.

In making our decisions, we must use the brains that God has

In making our decisions, we must use the brains that God has given us. But we must also use our hearts which He also gave us. A man who has not learned to say, No --who is not resolved that he will take God's way, in spite of every dog that can bay or bark at him, in spite of every silvery choice that woos him aside--will be a weak and a wretched man till he dies.

Failure is so important. We speak about success all the time. It is the ability to resist failure or use failure that often leads to greater success. I've met people who don't want to try for fear of failing.

The other day I got a text from a boy, but it wasn't hot. I mean, if you're going to text me every day, you haven't seen me for months and you're trying to seduce me, you'd better spice up that text and make it more exciting than 'How was your day? I hope you're having a beautiful one.' Sadly, I haven't been doing a lot of kissing lately.
