Chief Inspector Armand Gamache often taught his new police recruits the following 4 statements. He said they led to wisdom. In our world these days I believe they would provide a giant leap forward in acceptance, understanding and humility.
I don't know. I need help. I'm sorry. I was wrong.

This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness. Dalai Lama

This is a favourite of mine “Out beyond what is right and what is wrong, there is a field. I’ll meet you there”. (Rumi - translation of course)

“You believe in a book that has talking animals, wizards, witches, demons, sticks turning into snakes, burning bushes, food falling from the sky, people walking on water, and all sorts of magical, absurd and primitive stories, and you say that we are the ones that need help?” Mark Twain

You cannot control what happens to you, but you can control your attitude toward what happens to you, and in that, you will be mastering change rather than allowing it to master you. Brian Tracy

As you get older, you realize that you’re not always right and there’s so many things you could’ve handled better, so many situations where you could’ve been kinder and all you can really do is forgive yourself and let your mistakes make you a better person.
Sheri Eckert.

I don't want to live in the kind of world where we don't look out for each other. Not just the people that are close to us, but anybody who needs a helping hand. I can't change the way anybody else thinks, or what they choose to do, but I can do my bit. ~ Charles de Lint

“If the mountain seems too big today then climb a hill instead. If the morning brings you sadness it’s okay to stay in bed. If the day ahead weighs heavy and your plans feel like a curse, there’s no shame in rearranging; don’t make yourself feel worse. If a shower stings like needles and a bath feels like you’ll drown, if you haven’t washed your hair for days don’t throw away your crown. A day is not a lifetime, a rest is not defeat. Don’t think of it as failure, just a quiet, kind retreat. It’s okay to take a moment from an anxious, fractured mind. The world will not stop turning while you get realigned. The mountain will still be there when you want to try again. You can climb it in your own time. Just love yourself till then.” Laura Ding-Edwards

“Someday, everything will make perfect sense. So for now, laugh at the confusion, smile through the tears, be strong and keep reminding yourself that everything happens for a reason.”

You will never speak to anyone more than you speak to yourself in your head. Be kind to yourself.
