Saturday Afternoon Quote
“All blame is a waste of time. No matter how much fault you find with another, and regardless of how much you blame him, it will not change you. The only thing blame does is to keep the focus off you when you are looking for external reasons to explain your unhappiness or frustration. You may succeed in making another feel guilty about something by blaming him, but you won’t succeed in changing whatever it is about you that is making you unhappy.”

Thursday Afternoon Quote
“Do not disturb yourself by picturing your life as a whole; do not assemble in your mind the many and varied troubles which have come to you in the past and will come again in the future, but ask yourself with regard to every present difficulty: ‘What is there in this that is unbearable and beyond endurance?’ You would be ashamed to confess it! And then remind yourself that it is not the future or what has passed that afflicts you, but always the present, and the power of this is much diminished if you take it in isolation and call your mind to task if it thinks that it cannot stand up to it when taken on its own.”
--Marcus Aurelius

Tuesday Afternoon Quotes
““What if I get it wrong?”
“What if it doesn’t work?”
“What if I’m left here alone?”
Just look over the edge of that. Look over the edge of ‘what if’ and let your mind open up and realize that we’ve been running away from phantoms. Examine the attitudes you have, like ‘What if I get it wrong?’ You’ve been getting it wrong all your life — it’s no big deal! Everybody’s getting it wrong. Everybody’s making mistakes. Everybody’s losing it. Blundering. Not noticing. Not being respectful, polite, kind, talking too long, not saying enough… Everybody’s getting it wrong. Why don’t we just practice forgiveness instead and get out of this trap? You forgive me and I’ll forgive you, okay?”
--Ajahn Sucitto

Monday Afternoon Quote
“If we were to meet a truly humble person we would never come away from meeting them thinking they were humble. They would not be always telling us they were a nobody (because a person who keeps saying they are a nobody is actually a self-obsessed person). The thing we would remember from meeting a truly gospel-humble person is how much they seemed to be totally interested in us. Because the essence of gospel-humility is not thinking more of myself or thinking less of myself, it is thinking of myself less.”
--C.S. Lewis
