And thought struggles against the results, trying to avoid those unpleasant results while keeping on with that way of thinking. That is what I call ‘sustained incoherence.

The challenge of work-life balance is without question one of the most significant struggles faced by modern man.

I’ve been through a lot of struggles.

I’ve had really hard struggles in my life.

When we censor our history by disguising our scars, we belittle this process and the struggles our ancestors fought so hard to overcome. America doesn’t cower behind political correctness. It defiantly and courageously moves forward, with its history as a reminder of where we have been.

At its best, cinema does retain a remarkable ability to speak to people of every age, from every background, and in ways that almost any other art form in popular culture struggles to compete with.

People-watching is my favorite thing to do. This is blowing my mind. I fixate on one person, and then I think about the struggles in their life. I think about what made them walk the way they do.

I think when anyone struggles, they think they are being short changed.

I’m really bad at memorizing, so that’s one of my big struggles in an audition setting, with the lines.

Social media enables us to talk about issues, shine a light on problems, and raise awareness of struggles that might have gone unnoticed. On the flipside, it also allows for a lot of noise and distractions. Sometimes it doesn’t create the best environment for a healthy discussion and can lead to trolling.

I feel like mental health is not something people are vocal enough about, but it’s something that everyone struggles with.

I can tell you and promise you that I’ve had struggles in my life. And I would love to have people understand that Mitt and I have compassion for people that are struggling.

Americans are right to believe the American Dream is fading. But that dream only became a possibility for white men as a result of the labor struggles and reforms of the New Deal, and it began to extend to minorities and women only after the civil rights and women’s movements of the 1960s and 1970s.

Dad always said, ‘Get a degree and do something on your own before you start movies.’ He always kept me grounded, telling me the realities of the business and the struggles even the legends had to go through.

‘A League of Their Own’ had some special meaning for me, I guess – it’s about women joining together and being empowered, but also about sisters sticking together even when there’s drama and struggles. I’m really close to my two sisters and my brother, so I liked that about it.

I have as many foibles, challenges, shortcomings and struggles as anybody else.

One of the biggest struggles I’ve had is being me.

During the struggles, the one thing I remember was the continued support from my wife. I was running up phone bills and did all kinds of things to begin the process. When times were bad we bought food with credit cards. We had bill collectors calling. We maneuvered through this together.

My life has been a fortunate one; I was born under a lucky star. It seems as if both wind and tide had favoured me. I have suffered no great losses, or defeats, or illness, or accidents, and have undergone no great struggles or privations; I have had no grouch. I have not wanted the earth.

I was ecstatic when I got my first film. But it took me some time to realise that the struggles and hardships would never be over.

Qaddafi is hated because he is the leader of a small country that is rich, but he uses his money to finance liberation struggles.

I strongly support the rights of transgender individuals. I will not denigrate or deny their struggles.

If anything, the genuine human struggles in ‘Sicko’ raise questions about our society that run much deeper than what passes for political discourse today. Why does such a rich nation let people suffer and die without health care?

As you get older, whatever your struggles may be – how you sound, how you look, how you dress – you grow into yourself a little bit more. You end up realizing the world wants you and not a carbon copy of six other people.

We have so many different lives outside of the WWE, it’s cool that people get to see all the different lifestyles and struggles we all have.

Eubank is tough, he’s game, he’s strong. He’s just like his dad. But he struggles with the boxing bit.

We have our insides and our outsides, and I find the struggles between the two, as well as the occasions of harmony between the two, fascinating.

I’m glad I went through all the normal teenage dramas that a lot of people go through. I can really relate to ‘Secret Life’ because I witnessed those similar struggles.

Dodd-Frank is a direct cause of the economic struggles millions of Americans continue to face today. The law provides so much regulation that it is a burden on the economy.

I learned that sometimes our struggles are a little bit bigger than us and talking about them and coming through and having the courage to get out of them. I learned how many I touched and inspired through the journey of ‘Idol’ because I was just singing on the show. I wasn’t really being an advocate for anything.

I’ve definitely had my struggles with the male species, as I’m sure most girls have.

There’s an image that my mother saved my father in 1968 and everything was a bed of roses after that. And that just wasn’t true. There were as many struggles in the 1980s and the 1990s as there were in the 1960s.

Partners from the Islamic world are of particular importance. Indeed, they have huge incentives to be involved, as the ongoing struggles are generally not clashes between civilizations. Rather, what we are seeing is more accurately a clash within a civilization: that of the Islamic world.

I’ve been out with injury, health struggles and I’ve really struggled with my mental health, so to be able to get back and be on the start line has been a challenge. I’m excited just to be there, but obviously I expect a lot of myself and I’m pretty sure other people expect me to come out and be able to still dominate.

To gain strength in our struggles, we must have a positive perspective of the principles in the plan of salvation. We must realize that we have a personal Savior whom we can trust and turn to in our times of need.

Images can make realities out of people and struggles – the reality we give them. Images really matter.

Bad days will come for each one of us, and the more we’ve thought these things through ahead of time, the better prepared we’ll be when tragedy strikes or struggles emerge.

This is another major feature of thought: Thought doesn’t know it is doing something and then it struggles against it is doing. It doesn’t want to know that it is doing it.

On the campaign trail, I have the opportunity to meet people from all walks of life – from residents at a battered women’s shelter to mentally handicap children to retirees – and learn about their lives and struggles.

I think, as people, we deal with struggles.

In ‘The Big Chill,’ those characters are in middle age, thinking, ‘Oh, God, I’ve turned into my parents. I’ve failed.’ And in ‘Beside Still Waters,’ we’re showing the struggles of people who actually want to be like their parents and feel they can’t live up to their heights.

I’ve had a lot of struggles in the NBA, so to have some type of success, it just feels good, and makes you want more.

I would like to do some serious drama. I really connect with emotional characters who have struggles and a lot of emotion and colors. I don’t really want to do anything smiley and cheesy; it’s not really my personality when I’m working.

I like the struggles that people have, people who are feeling like they don’t fit into society, because I still sort of feel that way.

Through an image, people are able to communicate how they’re feeling, making even the most invisible struggles more visible to friends and family.

In the U.S., track and field struggles and I am such a trackie. I love the sport. It’s one of those things where if I could garner a little more attention for it or make it a little more exciting, I would love to do that.

Despite some struggles of our own, America’s business and economic system remains the envy of much of the world.

Black women have to know the historical and everyday struggles of black men, and our men have to know the struggles of black women in America.

Radio is where the heavy lifting will take place in wireless, and that’s where we need to integrate, and there of course will be some struggles during the process.

Some of the things I’ve had to overcome in my past, fighting helped me deal with a lot of struggles. Obstacles in life don’t make you a great fighter, but fighting – or, I should say, martial arts – helps you overcome your obstacles.

Everybody knows the struggles I went through coming into my career with the free throws and how much work I put into it, how many people made fun of me for not being able to stay in games, this and that.

Owen Wilson is an actor, but think of him as a sort of secret agent. He has an offbeat, indie-movie sensibility. Every so often, however, he infiltrates some big-budget movie he clearly doesn’t belong in – ‘Anaconda,’ ‘Armageddon,’ ‘The Haunting’ – and struggles valiantly to stop it from sucking.

Changes and progress very rarely are gifts from above. They come out of struggles from below.

Tell me about yourself – your struggles, your dreams, your telephone number.
