Criticism is an alluring substitute for creation, because tearing things down, unlike building them up, really is as easy as falling off a stump.

Constantly measuring ourselves against others sours and shortens our lives, robbing us of the very things we think it will bring: prosperity, love, inner peace, the knowledge that we’re good enough.

You do not owe anyone your time. When you realize that, others will respect your time much more.

Caring for your inner child has a powerful and surprisingly quick result: Do it and the child heals.

Image
If a problem looks difficult, relax. If it looks impossible, relax even more. Then begin encouraging small changes, putting just enough pressure on yourself to move one turtle step forward. Then rest, savor, celebrate. Then step again. You’ll find that slow is fast, gentle is powerful, and stillness moves mountains.
