"Every
man in his lifetime needs to thank his faults.
Like
the wounded oyster, he mends his shell with pearl."
Emerson
The
self-actualizing principle of Replacement says,
"The
best way to correct an unwanted impulse is to
replace
it with a better activity that satisfies the need
but
doesn't have negative side effects."
That
involves Trading Up our self-defeating impulses
for
healthier activities and more positive spirals to help us
outgrow
the vicious circles that can pull our life downward.
