Realize that, sometimes, the best thing to do is absolutely nothing.”

Do not look into the void of uncertainty trying to predict each and every possible outcome, to evaluate every possible mistake, to prevent each possible failure.

Leap before you talk yourself out of it, before you convince yourself to set up a temporary camp that turns into a permanent delay on your journey into your own heart.”

By taking responsibility for yourself, you can stop relying on others to take responsibility for you.”

— Vironika Tugaleva
