When I get to where I can enjoy just lying on the rug picking up lint balls, I will no longer be too ambitious.

The components of happiness are quite simple. Happiness is gentleness, peace, concentration, simplicity, forgiveness, humor, fearlessness, trust, and now. In its true form each quality includes all the rest, for happiness is whole, and one feels whole when genuinely happy.

Almost any difficulty will move in the face of honesty. When I am honest I never feel stupid. And when I am honest I am automatically humble.

perfectionism is a slow death. if everything were to turn out just like i would want it to, just like i would plan for it to, then i would never experience anything new; my life would be an endless repetition of stale successes. when i make a mistake i experience something unexpected.... when i have listened to my mistakes i have grown.

I live now and only now, and I will do what I want to do this moment and not what I decided was best for me yesterday.

But it's morning. Within my hands is another day. Another day to listen and love and walk and glory. I am here for another day.
