“Stop the glorification of busy. Busy, in and of itself, is not a badge of honor. In fact, directed at the wrong pursuits, it is actually a limiting factor to our full potential. It is okay to not be busy. Repeat this with me: It is okay to not be busy.”
― Joshua Becker

“So, of course, the relationship you have with yourself, your inner partner, still has to be considered the most important and influential relationship, for it is from this center that you set the tone for the quality of the relationships you will have with each and every person you meet.”

“The truth is, you’re never actually stuck. You always have choices. They might not be easy choices, and they might come with risk, but they exist. The real reason you feel stuck isn’t because you can’t move forward—but because you’re afraid to. Maybe you’re afraid of failing. Maybe you’re afraid of what people will think if you take a risk and fall flat on your face. Maybe you’re afraid that even if you try, nothing will change. And so, instead of confronting that fear, you choose inaction. You convince yourself that you’re powerless, even when you’re not.”
