The important thing is to tell yourself a life story in which you, the hero, are primarily a problem solver rather than a helpless victim. This is well within your power, whatever fate might have dealt you.

If anything is worth doing, it is worth doing it badly.

Any moment you spend attacking yourself is a moment away from your higher purpose and your power to love. Don't go there.

The holy days are the best times to focus on real enthusiasm, the inner source that lightens and sanctifies our lives all year.

Don't fight fearful thoughts. Just match each one with an alternative thought that brings you more peace.

Any transition serious enough to alter your definition of self will require not just small adjustments in your way of living and thinking but a full-on metamorphosis.

If we're stuck with having expectations, there's a very good reason to embrace positive ones: it's that we often create what we anticipate.
