When you create a difference in someone's life, you not only impact their life, you impact everyone influenced by them throughout their entire lifetime.No act is ever too small. One by one, this is how to make an ocean rise.

To measure the quality of your life, simply do nothing and see how it feels.

Real generosity to the future lies in giving all to the present.

If you are more worried about pleasing others than about caring for yourself, it might mean that there is trauma in your body telling you that you are only safe when other people are pleased with you.Perhaps it's time to heal that trauma so you can learn to let people down while you honour your own needs.

It's not only children who grow.Parents grow too.As much as we watch to see what our children do with their lives, they are watching us to see what we do with ours.I can't tell my children to reach for the sun. All I can do is reach for it, myself.

Being brave doesn't mean you aren't scared.Being brave means you are scared, really scared, badly scared, and you do the right thing anyway.

Whatever you do, do with determination.You have one life to live; do your work with passion and give your best.Whether you want to be a chef, doctor, actor, or a mother, be passionate to get the best result.

In moments of doubt, I've told myself firmly - if not me, who? If not now, when?If you have similar doubts when opportunities are presented to you, I hope those words might be helpful.

Remind that to yourself.

In The Mountain Is You, Wiest tackles self-sabotage and how we can get out of our own ways. Here are the deepest quotes from The Mountain Is You that will inspire you to confront the mountain and finally climb to your new life.

The Deepest Quotes From ‘The Mountain Is You’ By Brianna Wiest

"Your mountain is the block between you and the life you want to live. Facing it is also the only path to your freedom and becoming.”

"Your new life is going to cost you your old one. It’s going to cost you your comfort zone and your sense of direction. It’s going to cost you relationships and friends. It’s going to cost you being liked and understood. It doesn’t matter. The people who are meant for you are going to meet you on the other side. You’re going to build a new comfort zone around the things that actually move you forward. Instead of being liked, you’re going to be loved. Instead of being understood, you’re going to be seen. All you’re going to lose is what was built for a person you no longer are." Brianna Wiest

You cannot stay where you stand if you want change your life.

"Some of the emotions that are most strongly connected with self-sabotaging behaviors are actually important for us to better understand. It is not about simply ‘getting over’ them; it is about listening to what they are trying to tell us about our experience." Brianna Wiest

Negative emotions=messengers.

"Our internal guidance systems whisper until they scream." Brianna Wiest

You must stop tuning out what you already know to be true.

"To trust your gut is not to treat it as an oracle." Brianna Wiest

Your instinct is powerful (but it is not a fortune teller).

"Your feelings are not intended to guide you throughout life; that is what your mind is for." Brianna Wiest

Feelings aren’t facts. Impulses aren’t north stars.

"Healing is going to be hard at first. It is going to mean looking at yourself honestly, maybe for the first time ever. It is going to mean stepping out of your comfort zone so you can leap toward the person you want to be. It is not what makes you more comfortable and idle. It is what conditions you to be more motivated by discomfort than scared of it, and inspired by your still moments more than you use them to forge the chains of worry. Healing is going to change everything, but it has to start with you being willing to feel what you are afraid to feel." Brianna Wiest

Healing is difficult. But it is necessary.

"You don’t change in breakthroughs; you change in microshifts."

Change is a slow and steady act of becoming.

"Being mentally strong is a process, and it is a practice. This is where you can begin." Brianna Wiest

Practice, not perfection.

"One day, the mountain that was in front of you will be so far behind you, it will barely be visible in the distance. But who you become in learning to climb it? That will stay with you forever. That is the point of the mountain." Brianna Wiest

The mountain is a teacher.

"You start to let go on the day you take one step toward building a new life and then let yourself lie in bed and stare at the ceiling and cry for as many hours as you need."

"It is very hard to show up as the person you want to be when you are surrounded by an environment that makes you feel like a person you aren’t."Brianna Wiest

THIS IS A BOOK ABOUT SELF-SABOTAGE.Why we do it, when we do it, and how to stop doing it-for good.Coexisting but conflicting needs create self-sabotaging behaviors. This is why we resist efforts to change, often until they feel completely futile. But by extracting crucial insight from our most damaging habits, building emotional intelligence by better understanding our brains and bodies, releasing past experiences at a cellular level, and learning to act as our highest potential future selves, we can step out of our own way and into our potential.For centuries, the mountain has been used as a metaphor for the big challenges we face, especially ones that seem impossible to overcome. To scale our mountains, we actually have to do the deep internal work of excavating trauma, building resilience, and adjusting how we show up for the climb.In the end, it is not the mountain we master, but ourselves.

The Mountain Is You

We all know someone who constantly seems to be the source of drama. As a therapist and psychologist, I’ve spent 20 years hopping the fence between being caught in the drama and observing it.“I often have cravings for drama,” one patient, who we’ll call Helen, told me. “I can invent false narratives that end up making me angry with people.”Here are seven toxic signs of someone who is addicted to drama — and how to deal with them:

Drama Kings & Queens

When there isn’t an unrelenting sense of urgency, something always feels wrong to them. So to reinforce the urgency, they create a life that is overflowing with commitments, projects and deadlines.

1. They feel a sense of urgency.

They might try to get your attention by adding escalating words (“extremely bad” versus “bad”) or metaphors (“It was like he saw right through me and I melted into the abyss of space” versus “He ignored what I had to say”).And, just to make sure you’re paying attention, they’ll perform it with dramatic gestures and facial expressions.

2. They use exaggerated language.

People with a tendency toward drama rarely stay in the background or on the sidelines. Even when they are able to suppress their urge to be the center of attention, they don’t do it for long.Being in the middle of larger-than-life action tends to make them feel important.

3. They need to be the center of attention.

Retelling the same emotional story to different audiences allows them to vent continually. It’s common for them to add variations to the original situation, too.

4. They reenact and retell stories with unnecessary intensity.

You’ll often find people who are addicted to drama consumed by what’s happening in the lives of others.There is a growing prevalence of loneliness in this country, and in the absence of feeling seen and heard, it’s easy to get distracted by those around us.

5. They focus on the negative or exhilarating elements of other peoples’ lives.

Like the star of any show, they need the one-way interaction of an audience — people whose only role is to bear witness to the drama.They also like to assign roles to the rest of the cast. And if cast mates don’t deliver the right lines, there will likely be trouble.

6. The are preoccupied with (and stuck in) their own story.

Their inability to control (or predict) the external world leads to feeling overwhelmed, helpless and victimized. This is something all of us experience, but it’s acute for those with a propensity for drama.Say you take the wrong exit from a traffic circle. For many people, it’s a minor inconvenience or mistake. But to the drama addict, it’s an unfair catastrophe that happened to them.

7. They feel a lack of control.

Being able to identify the signs of a drama addict will empower you with a sense of awareness, giving you a better idea of how to handle the situation.Below are some tips:

How to deal with the drama

When you see someone start to engage in the drama cycle, tell yourself these statements to help you take a step back:<ul><li>“They are again being pulled into their drama cravings.”</li><li>“They are trying to avoid something very painful right now.”</li><li>“They are exhibiting this intense behavior because they are asking to be seen.”</li></ul>This isn’t about making excuses. It’s to help you avoid being pulled into the drama and instead be a compassionate witness.

1. Reframe and soften your response.

Explain what you are and aren’t open to hearing:<ul><li>“I’m having a difficult time and can’t hold space for this right now.”</li><li>“I can be present to listen to what happened, but I don’t have the capacity to hear any blaming as to why it happened.”</li><li>“Now is not a good time. What’s your availability like later?”</li></ul>Setting a firm but kind boundary will not only make you feel better, it can also help lower the temperature for the drama addict in the moment.

2. Clarify what you can hear.

The truth is that sometimes you will just have to walk away and end the relationship (for now).While the terms “break up,” “walk away from someone,” or “leave the relationship” are often used, the reality is that you are making the conscious choice to return your energy and attention back to yourself.

3. Distance yourself.

When faced with senseless drama, spiteful criticisms and misguided opinions, walking away is the best way to stand up for yourself. To respond with anger is an endorsement of their attitude.

We all experience drama. Some are just regal about it, its bred into their personalities. Identify and overcome!

We all know someone who constantly seems to be the source of drama. As a psychologist and therapist, Dr. Scott Lyons has spent 20 years studying the toxic signs of people who are "addicted to drama" — and how to deal with them

Villains and heroes actually have the exact same backstory. The villain story and the backstory of the hero are pain. So the difference between the villain and the hero is one thing: it's how they respond to pain. The villain says: “the world hurt me; I'm gonna hurt it back”. And the hero says: “the world hurt me; I'm not gonna let this happen to anyone else”.It's just literally how you decide to react to pain that causes you to be the villain or the hero.
