· “Perfectionism is the voice of the oppressor, the enemy of the people. It will keep you cramped and insane your whole life, and it is the main obstacle between you and a sh*tty first draft. I think perfectionism is based on the obsessive belief that if you run carefully enough, hitting each stepping-stone just right, you won’t have to die. The truth is that you will die anyway and that a lot of people who aren’t even looking at their feet are going to do a whole lot better than you, and have a lot more fun while they’re doing it.” ~ Anne Lamott
· “In many shamanic societies, if you came to a medicine person complaining of being disheartened, dispirited, or depressed, they would ask one of four questions: “When did you stop dancing? When did you stop singing? When did you stop being enchanted by stories? When did you stop being comforted by the sweet territory of silence?” ~ Gabrielle Roth.
· ‘Why worry about what other people think? After all, it’s just a thought in their head.’
· ‘I release the need to perform for other people’s approval.’ ‘It is exhausting carrying the weight of other people’s opinions on my shoulders. It is exhausting to manipulate who I am so that other people can like me.'”
· “How can I know that the dead are not wondering how come once they could have wanted to be born?”
· “Only after waking up we know we have dreamt. And there is a great awakening, after which we will know that all this is a big dream. The foolish ones believe they are awaken and believe they know who they are, kings or shepherds. How obtuse!”
