Martha Beck

You do not owe anyone your time. When you realize that, others will respect your time much more.
Martha Beck
Image
The way to find your own North Star is not to think or feel your way forward but to dissolve the thoughts and feeling that make you miserable. You don't have to learn your destiny--you already know it you just have to unlearn the thoughts that blind you to what you know.
