If, however, you take a moment to observe how you actually feel immediately after you criticise someone, you'll notice that you will feel a little deflated and ashamed, almost like you're the one who has been attacked. The reason this is true is that when we criticise, it's a statement to the world and to ourselves, "I have a need to be critical." This isn't something we are usually proud to admit.

Life is a process--just one thing after another. When you lose it, just start again.

Will this matter a year from now?

Even though we often mess up, most of us are doing the best that we know how with the circumstances that surround us.

Life isn't all it's cracked up to be. Nothing is ever good enough the way it is.

Ironically, when you surrender your need to hog the glory, the attention you used to need from other people is replaced by a quiet inner confidence that is derived from letting others have it.

If we could only live the way we know deep down we should, we would guarantee ourselves a life of richness & fulfillment.
