Quote by Barbara Johnson

A season of growth or incubation? You may think you're on a detour, but God knows the best way for you to reach your destination.”

“When you are annoyed at someone's mistake, immediately look at yourself and reflect how you also fail; for example, in thinking that good equals money, or pleasure, or a bit of fame. By being mindful of this you'll quickly forget your anger, especially if you realize that the person was under stress, and could do little else. And, if you can, find a way to alleviate that stress.”
