Children listen best with their eyes. What you do is what they hear.

Learning to stop sweating the small stuff involves deciding what things to engage in and what things to ignore. From a certain perspective, life can be described as a series of mistakes, one right after another with a little space in between.

If we would just slow down, happiness would catch up to us.

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

Meanwhile, life keeps moving forward. The truth is, there's no better time to be happy than right now. If not now, when?

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.

You are what you practice most.
