A confession you make merely to illuminate the murky corners of your little life may end up lighting the path to freedom for a thousand other hearts.

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

Good fortune has side effects.

Remember that it’s okay to ask for help when you’re stumped, because sometimes you really can’t be expected to handle everything alone.

Own your failure openly, publicly, with genuine regret but absolutely no shame, and you’ll reap a harvest of forgiveness, trust, respect, and connection-the things you thought you’d get by succeeding. Ironic, isn’t it?

Be brave enough to turn away from shiny objects, and toward the light that makes them shine.

The idea is to identify a destructive thought pattern, then simply label it and watch it and let it pass by whenever it appears in your mind.
