Hmmm… are we seeing a pattern here?

Another quote that helps fight the battle against perfectionism.

Do I have too many of them in this book?

Should I delay the publication until next year (i.e. never)?

Inner thought: “cancel.”

Let’s move on.

What a simple, yet powerful turn of phrase from Dr. Dyer.

He could sometimes get a little “out there” for my taste, but he never failed to inspire me.

Another one of my favorites from him is…

“When you squeeze an orange, what comes out? Orange juice. Why? Because that’s what’s inside. When life or other people squeeze or put pressure on you, what comes out? Whatever is already inside.”

I might have to save that one for Simple Secrets: Volume II.
