• We judge people in areas where we’re vulnerable to shame, especially picking folks who are doing worse than we’re doing.

We’re hard on each other because we’re using each other as a launching pad out of our own perceived deficiency.

• No matter how unreasonable others may seem, I am responsible for not reacting negatively. Regardless of what is happening around me I will always have the prerogative, and the responsibility, of choosing what happens within me. I am the creator of my own reality.
