Everything I Do Matters
There are no decisions without consequences. Each day I have a thousand opportunities to look and think with comfort, to understand rather than attack, to be human rather than right, to be whole rather than destructive. Every circumstance offers me a chance to side with my strength instead of my weaknesses, my peace instead of my fears, my destiny instead of my digressions into misery. And each small decision I make has its effects on my loved ones.

Appropriate Focus
Trying to use mental sentences to change my behavior is like standing before my shadow and commanding it to move. It's not the words I think but the overall motive I have that characterizes my effect on others and myself. When I focus only on controlling behavior, I relinquish the goal of a consistent mental state. I can strive for inner consistency or outer consistency, but not both. How whole I am mentally determines how intuitive I am about other people and how sensitive I am to their needs, as well as my own.
