"If you spend very much time worrying about failure, it will build, and in the end you will fail. The best way around this is to look upon them as challenges. Act aggressively to get them out of your mind. If you do this quickly every time they crop up, they will soon disappear."
-- Barry Parker
"Many of us have been taught to do our duty. What reaction does this bring up for you?
For me, doing my duty often means doing something I really don't want to do. My heart's not in it. When this is the case, tasks may get done but there's no gift to the world. We do not truly serve if we give to others with resentment.
Perhaps we need to give ourselves permission to say no and look after our own needs. When our own needs are met, we are much more likely to want to give from a full heart.
It's not selfish to look after ourselves -- it's essential!"
-- John Robson
