Responsibility Is A Grace You Give Yourself

If Babies Held The Same Tendency Toward Self-criticism As Adults, They Might Never Learn To Walk Or Talk. Can You Imagine Infants Stomping, 'aarggh! Screwed Up Again!' Fortunately, Babies Are Free Of Self-criticism. They Just Keep Practicing.

Unless The Desire To Change Remains Strong, Body And Mind Tend To Return To Old, Familiar Patterns. It Takes Time-from Three To Six Months-for Old Habits To Become Obsolete. By The End Of That Time, You'll Have Adapted To A New Pattern. In A Sense, You'll Have Found A New Way Of Life.

The Warrior Is Here, Now.

So Be Gentle With Yourself; Show Yourself The Same Kindness And Patience You Might Show A Young Child - The Child You Once Were. If You Won’t Be Your Own Friend, Who Will Be? If, When Playing An Opponent, You Are Also Opposing Yourself, You Will Be Outnumbered.
