I change too quickly: my today refutes my yesterday. When I ascend I often jump over steps, and no step forgives me that.

More on Change
“I don't fix anybody, because I don't think anybody's broken. I think what people have are patterns, and those can be changed. People quickly understand that what's controlling their thoughts and emotions are their values and rules, and they learn how to shift those.”
“We cannot, in a moment, get rid of habits of a lifetime.”
“All change is nothing but a decision. All decisions are controlled by what we link to pain and pleasure.”
More on Growth
“Unfortunate events though potentially a source of anger and despair have equal potential to be a source of spiritual growth. Whether or not this is the outcome depends on your response.”
“When your heart becomes the grave of your secrets, that desire of yours will be gained more quickly. The prophet said that anyone who keeps secret his inmost thought will soon attain the object of his desire. When seeds are buried in the earth, their inward secrets become the flourishing garden.”
“When any real progress is made, we unlearned and learn anew what we thought we knew before.”
