William James was a great american and is known at the father of american psychology. Pragmatism is a fancy word for being practical. Taking excellent ideas and putting them into practice. Here are some of his great ideas and thoughts:
- Lives based on having are less free than lives based either on doing or being.
- Acceptance of what has happened is the first step to overcoming the consequences of any misfortune.
- If you believe that feeling bad or worrying long enough will change a past or future event, then you are residing on another planet with a different reality system.
- Great emergencies and crises show us how much greater our vital resources are than we had supposed.
- Compared with what we ought to be, we are half awake.
- Action may not bring happiness but there is no happiness without action.
- Believe that life is worth living and your belief will help create the fact.
- Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does.
- Begin to be now what you will be hereafter
With Love,
