Key beliefs.
01. never fail to be kind
To quote the 12th Doctor, the protagonist of the long-running British science fiction television series, Doctor Who, “Never be cowardly. Hate is always foolish. Love is always wise. Always try to be nice, but never fail to be kind.”
The 12th Doctor, Peter Capaldi
02. don’t sweat the small stuff
“Something wonderful begins to happen with the simple realization that life, like an automobile, is driven from the inside out, not the other way around. As you focus more on becoming more peaceful with where you are, rather than focusing on where you would rather be, you begin to find peace right now, in the present. Then, as you move around, try new things, and meet new people, you carry that sense of inner peace with you. It's absolutely true that, ‘Wherever you go, there you are.’” Richard Carlson, Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff … and its All Small Stuff
03. strive to be authentic
“The most authentic thing about us is our capacity to create, to overcome, to endure, to transform, to love, and to be greater than our suffering.”
Author, Ben Okra
04. therapy is a good thing
“Therapy isn’t Radio. We don’t need to constantly fill the air with sounds. Sometimes, when it’s quiet, surprising things happen.”
Mary Pipher, Letters to a Young Therapist
