Additional quotes by Pema Chödrön

Compassionate action starts with seeing yourself when you start to make yourself right and when you start to make yourself wrong. At that point you could just contemplate the fact that there is a larger alternative to either of those, a more tender, shaky kind of place where you could live.

Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better.” — Samuel Beckett - Pema Chödrön
