On seasons
“…This plant spreads by reseeding itself. Stubborn little thing can quickly reclaim the silty overflow of a swollen river. Making beauty out of loam.”
On circles
“We have learned so much…there still remains much to learn. We are not going in circles, we are going upwards. The path is a spiral; we have already climbed many steps.” - Herman Hesse
On taking things personally
“Spend today interpreting whatever people do in the most generous way. See if you feel better as a result.” - James Clear
On emotional needs
“Love makes a good relationship a dream and a bad relationship a nightmare. Love does not fix a relationship—it amplifies what’s already there.” - Mark Manson
On integrity
“The first agreement is to be impeccable with your word. It sounds very simple, but it is very, very powerful. […] It is through the word that you manifest everything.” - Don Miguel Ruiz
On expectations
"Everyone seems to have a clear idea of how other people should lead their lives; but none about his or her own." - Paulo Coelho
On feedback
“People who rarely receive criticism often take feedback too personally and miss opportunities to learn.
People who frequently receive criticism get used to ignoring what others say and also miss opportunities to learn.
The thing to focus on is the pattern. If you hear something once, don’t let it wreck your mindset. There are many ways to view the world and not everyone will agree with your approach.
But if you’re hearing something repeatedly, think carefully about whether the feedback is right.” - James Clear
