Bill Crawford Want Quotations

People have the absolute right to be just as unhappy and miserable as they want to be.

Want to change your experience of life? Change the problem to the practice field.

If you want to change your life, you must change your mind and change your brain? on purpose.

You never want to tie your responsibility to another's irresponsibility.

When dealing with problems, seek not to "change" some aspect of your life but instead, choose who you want to become as a path to what you want. Transformation and healing then take place as a process of becoming versus avoiding.

Freedom isn't about having permission to do whatever we want... it's about having the courage to do whatever fills our life with meaning.

To be influential in our conversations, we must first be aware of two things, (1) what do we want to bring to the conversation and (2) what do we want to bring out in others.

A meaningful life is composed of a series of meaningful moments. If this is what we want, then the ability to infuse each moment with meaning would seem to be a skill worth practicing.

Never define people or situations in terms of their effect on you, unless you want to give them the power to make you feel that way.

Courage isn't the absence of fear, but a decision that what we want is more important than what we are afraid of.
