Learning 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.
Martha BeckThe only way to the Place beyond Fear is to do the thing you fear most. This is how to surrender to your best destiny.

Martha BeckA lot of my clients say they don't deserve to mope about their sad little memories while children are starving in India. I say that just because your broken arm isn't as serious as someone else's gut wound, that doesn't mean your injury isn't excruciating or doesn't require attention. If you want to help the Indian children, or make the world a better place in any other way, you have to start by becoming whole yourself.
