A man's character is nothing but a collection of his habits. You become what you want to be by doing it. If you want to become a writer, you write. If you want to become an athlete, you train. It's funny when you think about it, but you can be whatever you want to be right now, this very instant. If you want to become fluent in a foreign language, you speak it, you write it, you live it. It is much easier to replace bad habits with good ones rather than just to suppress the bad habit.
When I feel anxious about wanting to get to the future, I will feel pleasure in that very moment in the present.
When I feel the compulsive urge to erase an imperfection, I will remember that there is nothing shameful about them because they are a part of how I got to be here where I am, and even if they are, I must remember that it is not my past actions that define me, because I did the best I could with the knowledge I had, but what I am doing right now. And I am doing good.
If I could plant a kiss on every piece of surface that I have raised my hand against, my skin would be covered with a thousand kisses that wisper I'm sorry... I'm sorry... So hear my promise that I will be kind to it from now on, since the body is a temple and not a graveyard. It is a meadow of possibility instead of a machine of determinism. I am not slowly pacing towards death but I am forever rejoicing in life, because I am a wonderful and incredibly beautiful pattern of dancing energy.
Everything is okay and always will be.
