Deeper Questions
How do you help people find boundless motivation? How do you fill them with hope and meaning? Because it will be all the 'losers' in high school that are left behind, and cause trouble. How do we bring a person who learned dis-motivation - to complete motivation? It is about clarifying one's mental models to reflect reality more effectively. Such as: you can learn things. You have predispositions, but nothing is set in stone. Hope exists. Positive psychology is learned.
Is anyone transforming individuals to infinite possibility, but in an integrated way? Is Tony Robbins doing it?

Quotations on Self-Transcendance
Gina Greenlee:
“What would happen if you gave yourself permission to do something you’ve never done before? There’s only one way to find out.”
Sri Chinmoy:
“I do not have any set goal; my goal is self-transcendence. I always try to transcend myself. I do not compete with the rest of the world. I compete only with myself, and I try to become a better human being. This is my ultimate goal.”
Viktor Frankl:
“Only to the extent that someone is living out this self transcendence of human existence, is he truly human or does he become his true self. He becomes so, not by concerning himself with his self-s actualization, but by forgetting himself and giving himself, overlooking himself and focusing outward.”
Jonathan Haidt:
“Awe is the emotion of self-transcendence.”
William Barrett:
“The bond that attaches us to the life outside ourselves is the same bond that holds us to our own life.”
Anton Chekhov:
“I long to embrace, to include in my own short life, all that is accessible to man.”
Oli Anderson:
“It is essential to our health and happiness that we dedicate ourselves to some kind of mission or purpose that transcends the mundane hustle and bustle of daily living.”
Kilroy J. Oldster:
“Our present conscious self and our shadow must learn how to coexist. The first step to attaining personal transcendence commences when the conscious mind and the unconscious mind square off and battle for preeminence. A person who achieves self-realization understands the interworking of both their conscious mind and the unconscious mind and integrates their unique dichotomy into their sense of a self.”
Sri Chinmoy:
“Self-transcendence gives us joy in boundless measure. When we transcend ourselves, we do not compete with others. We do not compete with the rest of the world, but at every moment we compete with ourselves. We compete only with our previous achievements. And each time we surpass our previous achievements, we get joy.”
