To trust yourself means that you are no longer content to lodge your soul in the circumstances that have long stopped serving you.

When we set up judgments for others, they become rules that we have to play by, too. By judging others for what we don’t have or because we envy them, we sabotage our own lives far more than we ever really hurt anybody else.

How you judge other people. What you first reach to insult someone with — especially when it’s physical — says infinitely more of you than them.
