Nothing ever goes away until it has taught us what we need to know. ~ Pema Chodron

It's tempting to always be on, but that means we're never here. The only way to be available for what's in front of us is to be less available for everything else.

There's a bustling world of instant updates and constant connections that never sleeps, and it lives on our desk, in our purses, in our pockets. ~ Lori Deschene

When you worry, you are praying for what you don't want.

You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don't try to forget the mistakes, but you don't dwell on it. You don't let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space. ~ Johnny Cash

Life is sometimes messy and blotched. We do our best. We don't always know the right move. ~ E. Gilbert

In any case, at some point in out lives, we must stop beating ourselves up over bygone blunders - even blunders that seem so painfully obvious to us in retrospect - and we must move on with our lives. ~ Elizabeth Gilbert
