The key to a good life is this: If you're not going to talk about something during the last hour of your life, then don't make it a top priority during your lifetime.

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.

...when you let go of your expectations, when you accept life as it is, you're free.To hold on is to be serious and uptight. To let go is to lighten up.

We deny the parts of ourselves that we deem unacceptable rather than accepting the fact that we're all less than perfect.

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

Try to maintain the perspective that, in time, everything disintegrates and returns to its initial form.

Will this matter a year from now?
