Rhyme and reason both have weight,

Yet comparison can steal one's fate .

Its tempting to look to others's chart,

And let their ruler mark our heart .

Dont be swayed by someone else's rule,

For your progress is yours to school, yours to make ,yours to shape .

Embrace your path with all its turns ,

And let your ambition be the fire that burns.

"We are social animals by nature, so we tend to function better when we're in a community and being around others." -Dr. Craig Sawchuck writes

It was like something from an old movie, where the sailor sees the girl across the crowded dance floor, turns to his buddy and says, "See that girl? I'm gonna marry her someday."

It wasn’t like I heard a bell ring or anything. I just suddenly had this calm feeling, like the air inside my lungs was the same as the air outside my body. It was peaceful. – Jason Mendoza, The Good Place

When you are engaged in a discussion with someone, do you prioritize the relationship, or do you prioritize being right? What is one step you could take toward letting go of the need to be right, and instead putting the relationship first?

“The most basic of all human needs is the need to understand and be understood. The best way to understand people is to listen to them.”

Between running to work and rushing to the bus station , getting back home and heading to the grocery store you tend to forget that you sent that file on time and that you wrote your shopping list, that you set and talked to that old man on the bus and that u fed that cat on the street. You don’t know which of these things is actually keeping you on truck and which of them has led to the ‘ you ‘ reading this , so please don’t forget that big change comes from hundreds of tiny steps and they all matter .
