“It would be impossible to estimate how much time and energy we invest ...” — Debbie Ford Quote

It would be impossible to estimate how much time and energy we invest in trying to fix, change and deny our emotions - especially the ones that shake us at our very core, like hurt, jealousy, loneliness, shame, rage and grief.

Today is the day to break free from the prison of the person you know yourself to be and step into a self you have yet to know. Will it be comfortable? No, but do it anyway.

Anger, if used properly, might be for a cause, like helping feed children or stopping abuse somewhere. When we understand that every quality has importance and value, then we open up to this. Shining a light on these shadow qualities gives it balance.

To transcend limitations and form positive new patterns of life based on who you know you can be rather than who you were yesterday, you must give up the modes of thinking, feeling and behaving that only keep you chained to your past.

No one is in control of your happiness but you; therefore, you have the power to change anything about yourself or your life that you want to change.

Be content with what you are, and wish not change; nor dread your last day, nor long for it.

Times and conditions change so rapidly that we must keep our aim constantly focused on the future.

There are always people who are into the old way of doing things. I don't think it's a bad thing necessarily, but things change - nothing stays the same. If you can stay true to yourself, you're always going to be legendary.

Very often a change of self is needed more than a change of scene.
