Don't be limited by what has been. Be inspired knowing that what could be is far greater than your wildest dreams.

So let's say you realize that you are never going to be a 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. person. You're not cut out for that sort of typical work environment. The benefit might be that if you embrace that and say I need to be self-employed or I need to be doing more project-oriented work. Identify the benefits - I'd be more productive. I'd be happier. The people around me would be happier because my mood would be better. When you identify the benefits of accepting the behavior or habit, you actually give leverage to it and give yourself a better chance of sticking with it.

When we think good thoughts, we feel good. When we feel good, we make good choices. When we feel good and make good choices, we draw more good experiences into our lives. It really is that simple … and elegant … and true.

Ask for help. Receiving is an act of generosity.

Chronic pain or other challenges are invitations; gifts that challenge us to learn how to manage the mind.

When you're brave enough to let go of anything you don't absolutely love or need, what you have left is the space for stillness and possibility.

I honor and protect my sensitivity.
