Growth is an erratic forward movement: two steps forward, one step back. Remember that and be very gentle with yourself.

It takes constant vigilance not to slip into negativity or simple apathy. It takes courage to believe over any given period of time that we are getting better and not sliding into decline.

We tend to think being hard on ourselves will make us strong. But it is cherishing ourselves that gives us strength

As you explore your inner world, your outer world will come more sharply into focus. As you face your imagined barriers, you will encounter real ones, as well.

It is the use of creativity which heals the creative wound.

Creativity is the natural order of life. Life is energy: pure creative energy.

The doing of something productive regardless of the outcome is an act of faith. The doing of a small something when a large something is too much for us is perhaps especially an act of faith. Faith means going forward by whatever means we can.
