Welcoming imperfection is the way to accomplish what perfectionism promises but never delivers. It gives us our best performance and genuine acceptance in the family of human -- and by that I mean imperfect -- beings.

Instead of fretting about getting everything done, why not simply accept that being alive means having things to do? Then drop into full engagement with whatever you're doing, and let the worry go.

I've developed the habit of mentally listing things that make me optimistic about the future. I do it every day.

No part of your experience is wasted. Everything you've experienced so far is part of what you were meant to learn.

The way that other people judge me is none of my business.

To know what that true self is without social pressure is to know your true nature.

When we run from our feelings, they follow us. Everywhere.
