“We have the need to be accepted and to be loved by others, but we cannot accept and love ourselves. The more self-love we have, the less we will experience self-abuse. Self-abuse comes from self-rejection, and self-rejection comes from having an image of what it means to be perfect and never measuring up to that ideal. Our image of perfection is the reason we reject ourselves the way we are, and why we don't accept others the way they are.”
Don Miguel Ruiz
“After enough mirror gazing, we all develop our ‘cosmic sense of humor.’ We no longer try to be perfect, or try to get all our work done in time. We become content with whatever life brings. Just to deal with what comes up without crucifying ourselves or others is enough of a challenge.”
Paul Ferrini
“Enjoy the journey, enjoy ever moment, and quit worrying about winning and losing.”
Matt Biondi
“Every minute should be enjoyed and savored.”
Earl Nightingale
“Fill your life with as many moments and experiences of joy and passion as you humanly can. Start with one experience and build on it.”
