In recovering from our creative blocks, it is necessary to go gently and slowly... These are baby steps. Progress, not perfection, is what we should be asking of ourselves.

Growth is an erratic forward movement: two steps forward, one step back. Remember that and be very gentle with yourself.

What we really want to do is what we are really meant to do. When we do what we are meant to do, money comes to us, doors open for us, we feel useful, and the work we do feels like play to us.

The voice of our original self is often muffled, overwhelmed, even strangled, by the voices of other people’s expectations.

I have learned, as a rule of thumb, never to ask whether you can do something. Say, instead, that you are doing it. Then fasten your seat belt. The most remarkable things follow.

Perfectionism is not a quest for the best. It is a pursuit of the worst in ourselves, the part that tells us that nothing we do will ever be good enough - that we should try again.

It takes constant vigilance not to slip into negativity or simple apathy. It takes courage to believe over any given period of time that we are getting better and not sliding into decline.

Creativity requires faith. Faith requires that we relinquish control.

If we lean into what we love instead of soldiering toward what we 'should,' our pace quickens, our energy rises, optimism sets in. What we love is nutritious for us.

What we focus on, we empower and enlarge. Good multiplies when focused upon. Negativity multiplies when focused upon. The choice is ours: Which do we want more of?

To adore one has to yearn.

May you climb higher heights.

Maybe that's what love is—sacrificing yourself to save another, taking the insult or taking the hit.

All human actions are equivalent and all are on principle doomed to failure.

I cannot be with someone who takes pleasure in inflicting pain on me, someone who can't love me

God has a program of character development for each of us. He wants others to look at our lives and say, He walks with God, for he lives like Christ.

I think the hardest part to get to is that point of asking for help or reaching out to other people and being honest with yourself.

In a democracy, everyone has the right to criticise the Government.

Effective therapies treat the whole body as a unit.
