To increase joy in our lives, according to Dr. Shauna Shapiro, ‘… we must liberate ourselves from the myth of perfection.’
Because ‘Perfection isn’t possible, but transformation is.’
Remember your intention.
Because ‘remembering our intention gives us the crucial pause between our reaction and our response so that we can gain perspective, reconnect with our heart, and choose how we want to proceed.’
‘The most important thing is to remember the most important thing.‘
‘You must be present to win.’
‘When we care about ourselves, we are more likely to take care of outselves.‘
‘You are never alone in your suffering.’
‘Shame locks us into repeating mistakes.’
‘Forgiveness is not about condoning someone’s behavior; it is about freeing our own hearts by releasing the burden of anger and resentment.’
‘In our complex and demanding world, our most valuable asset is no longer our time, it is our attention.’
‘Nothing is separate.’
As always, you are more, not less!
