“It’s easy to hold onto pain, or a story about your pain. What is the harder, but more fruitful, choice is to meet it and see it clearly for what it is with kindness and humanity.”

“Take a deep breath, look up at the sky, and try to soak up a little bit of the majesty of the universe. Put your trials and tribulations in perspective. As the iconic Zen master Yogi Berra once said, you can observe a lot by just watching.”
