“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
“The maxim ‘Nothing but perfection’ may be spelled ‘Paralysis.'”
— Winston Churchill
“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
“Good enough never is.”
— Debbi Fields
“Your journey is not the same as mine, and my journey is not yours, but if we meet on a certain path, may we encourage each other.”
— Unknown
“The goals you set for yourself — like the rudder of a ship — will guide you toward your destination, and without them, like a ship without a rudder, you’ll find it impossible to stay the course. Make goal-setting a habit in your life. If you sometimes have trouble staying focused, set small, attainable goals and stick with the job until it’s done. Examples might include finding a faster, more efficient way to do a routine job. Or taking the most difficult jobs first when you have the most energy and your concentration is at its highest level. Save the easiest jobs for last. A few small successes will inevitably lead to bigger achievements.”
— Napoleon Hill
“If it wasn’t hard, everyone would do it. It’s the hard that makes it great.”
-— Tom Hanks
“A person with positive mental attitude aims for high goals and constantly strives to achieve them.”
— Napoleon Hill
