When you don't believe something, you can't make yourself believe it. There's nothing you can do to believe it again. You either believe it or you don't.

Nothing terrible has ever happened except in our thinking. Reality is always good, even in situations that seem like nightmares. The story we tell is the only nightmare that we have lived.

I was clinically depressed. I was paranoid. I was agoraphobic. I would have days at a time of not being able to even bathe or brush my teeth.

We don’t attach to things; we attach to our stories about them.

Discomfort is the call to set yourself free.

I love to not defend ever and to open my mind and take in what can always add to me, not take away from me.

Every (stressful thought) is a variation on a single theme: This shouldn't be happening. I shouldn't be having this experience. God is unjust. Life isn't fair.
