I think of her every time I judge myself or someone else too harshly. How do we really know the worth of our work?

It's scary to make major changes, but we usually have enough courage to take the next right step. One small step and then another. That's what it takes to raise a child, to get a degree, to write a book, to do whatever it is your heart desires.
