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.

A joyful life isn’t about others it’s about the brightness that is associated with being alive. Your path to it is through anything that replaces thinking with pure flight, pure joy.
Martha Beck
Image
Although beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, the feeling of being beautiful exists solely in the mind of the beheld.

I want you to notice is that-right here, right now-you’re okay. You may be in pain, you may be in fear, you may be in grief. But you’re here, you’re surviving this moment is okay.
