Quote by Stephen J. Kristof

“The pandemic changed us in ways that many, if not most of us, are unaware. How has your own perspective changed? What have you come to realize about the ways in which your perspective has shifted? When you think back, did you seem happier, more in-control, less anxious and more hopeful before the pandemic than you are now? Perhaps what's really changed is your perspective. That's a good thing, because it can be shifted toward a healthier outlook far more easily than you may realize!”

Fortunately, you can control the amount of forgiveness you give off.”

“Thoughts are like blossoms on a flower—there's a stem and then a whole root system beneath them. Thought substitution alone is like plucking off a dandelion bloom, glue-gunning a daffodil blossom on the stem, and expecting daffodils to keep blooming.”
