“But sometimes it's necessary to go back before you can go forward, really forward.”
― Paule Marshall, Writer
“You are not your age, nor the size of clothes you wear. You are not a weight, or the color of your hair. You are not your name, or the dimples in your cheeks. You are all the books you read, and all the words you speak. You are your croaky morning voice, and the smiles you try to hide. You’re the sweetness in your laughter, and every tear you’ve cried. You’re the songs you sing so loudly when you know you’re all alone. You’re the places that you’ve been to, and the one that you call home. You’re the things that you believe in, and the people whom you love. You’re the photos in your bedroom, and the future you dream of. You’re made of so much beauty, but it seems that you forgot when you decided that you were defined by all the things you’re not.”
― Erin Hanson, Poet
“The difference between where you are now and where you want to be is your mindset.”
― Ruben Chavez, Think, Grow, Prosper
P.S. Searching for a book recommendation? Our team at The Daily Coach highly recommends Advice Not Given: A Guide to Getting Over Yourself by Dr. Mark Epstein. Our ego, and its accompanying sense of nagging self-doubt as we work to be bigger, better, smarter, and more in control, is one affliction we all share. But while our ego is at once our biggest obstacle, it can also be our greatest hope. We can be at its mercy or we can learn to work with it. When we give the ego free rein, we suffer; but when it learns to let go, we are free.
