....nor punishments as severe as the ones we create for ourselves. We set standards that we cannot live up to and then chastise ourselves for our failure. We build unnecessary barriers and police them vigilantly. You may be conscious of some way in which your progress is being impeded or authority is being imposed on you. Think less about this and more about the way you can escape your problem by altering an attitude or defying a self-imposed restriction.
There may be many things that lie beyond our control, but that's not the same as saying that we are powerless. Allow yourself freedom, and the world will allow it to you too.
To make one good action succeed another, is the perfection of goodness.
(Ali ibn Abi Talib)
