Ninety per-cent of what we worry about never happens, yet we worry and worry. What a horrible way to go through life! What a horrible thing to do to your colon!
Instead of making others right or wrong, or bottling up right and wrong in ourselves, there's a middle way, a very powerful middle way... Could we have no agenda when we walk into a room with another person, not know what to say, not make that person wrong or right? Could we see, hear, feel other people as they really are? It is powerful to practice this way... true communication can happen only in that open space.

It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.
