Toss It Out or Shake it Off

"TOSS OUT Don't argue with problems. That just gives them more life. Learn to toss them out. The only thing to do with a quarrel with someone is to get rid of the quarrel. The only sensible act toward your explosive emotions is to learn to dismiss them. The only right thing to do with loneliness is to toss it out. What if you don't know how to toss out? Ask how long enough and you will know, just as you know how to toss out the contents of a trash box." ~ Secrets of Life

"In 'The Power of Now', I mentioned my observation that after two ducks get into a fight, which never lasts long, they will separate and float off in opposite directions. Then each duck will flap its wings vigorously a few times, thus releasing the surplus energy that built up during the fight. After they flap their wings, they float on peacefully, as if nothing had ever happened." ~ Eckhart Tolle
