“This one day I can easily cope with, if I have not frittered away my energies on destructive emotions, and if I do not provoke antagonism by criticisms, complaints and reproaches.” (ODAT, 15 December)
If I could eliminate entirely from my life the three pests—the three Norns, the three Fates, the three Stooges—of criticism, complaint, and reproach, that would transform everything.
I’m rarely tired because of the things I do.
When I’m tired, I’m usually tired because of the things I think.
