Never act out of desperation.

We must rely upon strategy, discipline, and patience to derive our must yearned desires from this world. Because there are few things we want that others can provide us, and those who can usually don't.

The longer you desire something, the further the desire predicates upon your ability to obtain that thing than it does the thing itself.

Just as man must endure the lifeless skies of winter to enjoy the sun's bask in summer, man must endure the worst days of his life to reach the best.

Once you begin to conquer your fear of failure, things that once registered as risks don't anymore.

I've observed a movement within psychotherapy, trauma therapy specifically, where therapists are discarding the idea of forgiveness. I think this misses the point. We don't want victims forgiving their attackers for having attacked them, but we do want them forgiving themselves for having been attacked. This is where healing begins.
