You do not owe anyone your time. When you realize that, others will respect your time much more.
Martha BeckAs soon as you think you know someone else's truth better than they do, you are in deep water.
Martha BeckLearning to let go of expectations is a ticket to peace. It allows us to ride over every crisisโsmall or large, brother-in-law or end-of-quarter office lockdownโlike a beach ball on water. The next time a problem arises in your life, take a deep breath, let out a sigh, and replace the thought Oh no! with the thought Okay.
