Lack of forgiveness of others breeds lack of self-forgiveness.

The goal of all life is to have a ball.

You have only to exist as you do and to live your life as best you can.

Reality is not so much what happens to us; rather, it is how we think about those events that create the reality we experience. In a very real sense, this means that we each create the reality in which we live.

It is only in your mind that you have to excel, at anything or everything. Of course, it would be very nice to excel at most things. Indeed, we recommend that you try and do your best. But realistically, you are entitled to do the bare minimum to get by. All your accomplishments are just a bonus, something to enjoy, not requirements. You don't have to do anything to prove that you are worthy of existing.

Whining about your own, others', or the world's failings is a main element in what we usually call neurosis.
