When you demand perfection of others, you magnify your own flaws.
The very things you withhold from others, are the very things you are withholding from yourself.
A major source of pain is wanting more for others, than they want for themselves.
The very things you withhold from others, are the very things being withheld from you.
There is really only one true way to fix yourself, and that is to be yourself.
When you are unforgiving and carry animosity, you feed the very soul of conflict that keeps your pain alive. If you suffocate your heart with anger, all your dreams will die. The way to live again, is to forgive.
Quit wishing other people would change and instead — change yourself.
The ability to forgive is one of man's greatest achievements.
You want them to be sorry, which is why you are miserable.
They will love you, misunderstand you, judge you, blame you, scorn you, and then forgive you — and it will never have had anything to do with you.
