Perfectionism Is Slow Death.

Very Seldom Will A Person Give Up On Himself. He Continues To Have Hope Because He Knows He Has The Potential For Change. He Tries Again - Not Just To Exist, But To Bring About Those Changes In Himself That Will Make Life Worth Living. Yet People Are Very Quick To Give Up On Friends, And Especially On Their Spouses, To Declare Them Hopeless, And To Either Walk Away Or Do Nothing More Than Resign Themselves To A Bad Situation.

It's This Simple: If I Never Try Anything, I Never Learn Anything. If I Never Take A Risk, I Stay Where I Am.

Problems Assault Us To The Degree They Preoccupy Us. The Key To Release, Rest, And Inner Freedom Is Not The Elimination Of All External Difficulties. It Is Letting Go Of Our Pattern Of Reactions To Those Difficulties.

Boredom Is Useful To Me When I Notice It And Think: Oh I'm Bored; There Must Be Something Else I Want To Be Doing... Boredom Acts As An Initiator Of Originality By Pushing Me Into New Activities Or New Thoughts.

I Am Responsible For What I See. I Can Elect To Change All Thoughts That Hurt. I Could See Peace Instead Of This. The Past Is Over It Can Touch Me Not. This Instant Is The Only Time There Is. Today I Will Judge Nothing That Occurs. I Am Not The Victim Of The World I See. I Can Escape From The World I See By Giving Up Attack Thoughts. I Am Determined To See Things Differently. I Am Never Upset For The Reason I Think. Forgiveness Is The Key To Happiness. All That I Give I Give To Myself.
