One of the hardest decisions you’ll ever face in life is choosing whether to walk away or try harder.

It is okay to be at a place of struggle. Struggle is just another word for growth. Even the most evolved beings find themselves in a place of struggle now and then. In fact, struggle is a sure sign to them that they are expanding; it is their indication of real and important progress. The only one who doesn’t struggle is the one who doesn’t grow. So if you are struggling right now, see it as a terrific sign — and celebrate your struggle.

The less you respond to rude, critical, argumentative people … the more peaceful your life will become.

The easiest thing in the world to be is you. The most difficult thing to be is what other people want you to be. Don’t let them put you in that position.

for over ten years, michael marten travelled to different parts of the british coast (click for location) to photograph identical views at high and low tide, revealing how the twice daily rhythm of ebb and flood can dramatically transform the landscape. combining coastal maps and charts with tide tables, marten plotted out locations where, and times when, he could witness the greatest tidal differences - like at high spring tides, occurring around the full and new moons, and low neap tides, when the moon is on the wax or wane. he also refined his own methods as a photographer to devised intricate means of ensuring that his camera was placed in precisely the same posture at both high and low tides, all to document what is the gravitational and centrifugal effects of the sun and the moon on the earth as spins on its axis. as marten notes, “i hope these photographs will stimulate people’s awareness of natural change, of landscape as dynamic process rather than static image. attending to earth’s rhythms can help us to reconnect with the fundamentals of our planet, which we ignore at our peril.” he adds, “[these photos] are also comments on climate change. the tide floods in and quickly recedes again, but rising sea levels will flood our shores and not recede for thousands or millions of years. many of the views in these pictures may have disappeared in 100 years’ time.”

It’s dark because you are trying too hard. Lightly child, lightly. Learn to do everything lightly. Yes, feel lightly even though you’re feeling deeply. Just lightly let things happen and lightly cope with them. So throw away your baggage and go forward. There are quicksands all about you, sucking at your feet, trying to suck you down into fear and self-pity and despair. That’s why you must walk so lightly. Lightly my darling…

The word you're looking for is "patient."

I will *not* call the people I care for “clients.”

I’m not doing a project for them.

I’m caring for them through their illness. I’m nurturing and teaching and supporting them. I’m feeding, washing, medicating, ambulating and encouraging them. I’m making sure they’re warm enough and that they can rest.

And I’m giving a damn about them. Oftentimes, though not nearly to the extent they are, I’m suffering with them. Also fairly often I’m pissing them off by not giving them what they want because it’s not what they need.

I’m determined to get them better, not make them happy customers.

Asking me to call them “clients” is an insult to both of us.

The vision of medicine as big business has to go.
