Just poking around AbeQuotes and found this gem, and already I feel like something has opened up.
... You will have a lot better chance of turning and letting the stream carry you if you are making an effort to be nicer to yourself about it, if you're making an effort to give yourself the benefit of the doubt. And you know why? Because the last thing in this world or any world that your Inner Being will ever, ever do, is join you in self-criticism. Or criticism of anyone else for that matter.
In the moment that you decide to club yourself about the head -that's our work [audience laughter]- in the moment that you take issue with something, or you regret something, or you say, I should have done it differently, anytime you are trying to explain how wrong you are where you stand, you're pointed upstream.
And everytime you're trying to give yourself the benefit of the doubt, you let go of those oars and the stream turns you. And as the stream turns you, now all kinds of things begin to flow into your experience. In fact, friends, you can't stop them from flowing into your experience.
