“Is despair wrong? Isn’t it the natural condition of life after a certain age? … After a number of events, what is there left but repetition and diminishment? Who wants to go on living? The eccentric, the religious, the artistic (sometimes); those with a false sense of their own worth. Soft cheeses collapse; firm cheeses endurate. Both go mouldy.”
— Julian Barnes

“Perspective makes all the difference. It’s not what you look at; it’s what you see… Remember that the sun never actually sets; it’s our perspective that makes it appear to. Our sunset is another’s sunrise. It’s all perspective. How would your life be different if you applied this truth to the things that cause you stress? Letting go isn’t about erasing the past; it’s about looking at the same event and seeing something different. Activate this power in your life! Take the pain and poison of the past and allow it to nourish a new found wisdom. Remember, you can’t change the past, but you can change the labels you place on events. Perspective – it’s not what you look at; it’s what you see.”
— Steve Maraboli

“Make a pledge to yourself right now, to declare that you are worth your time and energy.”
— Deborah Day
