Have you considered that if you don't make waves, nobody including yourself will know that you are alive?

I must learn to love the fool in me the one who feels too much, talks too much, takes too many chances, wins sometimes and loses often, lacks self-control, loves and hates, hurts and gets hurt, promises and breaks promises, laughs and cries.

Treat yourself at least as well as you treat other people.

All of us are crazy in one or another way.

Have you considered that if you don't make waves, nobody including yourself will know that you are alive?

To the extent that we honor all aspects of ourselves, we remove revulsion, self-hate, horror, and terror from our lives. As whole human beings we are the creatures of the greatest complexity on this planet. Respect for this complexity includes our insisting on acceptance of the inconsistent and incongruous.

The question is not whether we are able to change but whether we are changing fast enough.
