Don't die with your music still inside.

I cannot always control what goes on outside. But I can always control what goes on inside.

In the East, they contemplate the forest; in the West, they count the trees.

Keep doing what you love to the best of your ability. Stop judging and get out of your own way.

Releasing guilt is like removing a huge weight from your shoulders. Guilt is released through the empowering thought of love and respect for yourself. Let go of standards of perfection and refuse to use up the precious currency of your life, the now, with thoughts that continue to frustrate and weaken you. Instead, vow to be better than you used to be, which is the true test of nobility.

You will find it easier to accept contrary views, knowing that you are not defined by anything or anyone external to yourself.

Acting as if you were what you want to become and know you can become is the way to remove self-doubt and enter your real-magic kingdom.
