For some reason, maybe it's the holiday season, lots of people have
been coming to me for advice lately. Things seem to be going wrong--or
at least circumstances are posing a particularly difficult challenge--
for many people I talk to. While there's no one-size-fits-all answer
for every problem, here are some quotes I always find of help:
For relationships:
"Never make someone your priority while allowing yourself to be their
option."
On change:
"Some people say a decision has to marinate before you can make it.
Sometimes that's true. But you'll never have all the information you
need to make a decision. If you did, it would be a foregone
conclusion, not a decision." David Mahoney
On dieting and/or mistakes:
"Finish every day and be done with it. You have done what you could;
some blunders and absurdities crept in; forget them as soon as you
can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it serenely and with too
high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense." Ralph Waldo
Emerson
On everything else:
"A small trouble is like a pebble. Hold it too close to your eye, and
it puts everything out of focus. Hold it at proper viewing distance,
and it can be examined and classified. Throw it at your feet, and it
can be seen in its true setting, just one more tiny bump on the
pathway to eternity." Celia Luce
