I cannot always control what goes on outside. But I can always control what goes on inside.

I like to be alone. But I hate being lonely.

You cannot be lonely if you like the person you are alone with.

Don’t go away. I don’t want to be alone. I can’t stand being alone.

You keep to your own ways and leave mine to me.

If you smile when you are alone then you really mean it.

The great thing, then, in all education, is to make our nervous system our ally instead of our enemy.

Don’t be pushed by your problems. Be led by your dreams.

Worry is my worst enemy... an enemy I unleash upon myself.

Anxiety is a lot like a toddler. It never stops talking, tells you you’re wrong about everything, and wakes you up at 3 am.

You don’t drown by falling into water. You only drown if you stay there.

Stress is an ignorant state. It believes everything is an emergency.

Try to be a rainbow in someone’s cloud.

No need to hurry. No need to sparkle. No need to be anybody but oneself.

I just give myself permission to suck. I find this hugely liberating.

Every moment is a fresh beginning.

We must have a pie. Stress cannot exist in the presence of a pie.

If you’re going through hell keep going.
