Thoughts of the Day

Photo by Sara Fogan





Every now and then I like (and need) to take a few moments and remind myself about what is really important to me, in my life. If you follow me on my Calminsense Hypnotherapy Facebook page you may have seen some of these quotes before on this page, or will in the future. Many of these Quotes of the Day are beautiful examples and illustrations of the work I do as a hypnotherapist, so I will probably draw on them in future essays.



  • “We either make ourselves miserable or we make ourselves strong. The amount of work is the same.” – Carlos Castanada
  • “Peace is not something you wish for. It’s something you make, something you do, something you are, and something you give away.” – John Lennon
  • “Always… Unconditionally… Follow your heart. Understand that persistence, hard work and determination are the keys to success.” – Barbara Cage
  • “Healing yourself is connected with healing others.” – Yoko Ono
  • “To speak ill of others is a dishonest way of praising ourselves.” – Will Durant
  • “It’s better to be hated for what you are, than to be loved for what you’re not…” – Kurt Cobain
  • “Good writing will bring you to places you don’t even expect sometimes.” – James Gandolfini
  • “It isn’t the mountains ahead to climb that wear you out; it’s the pebble in your shoe.” – Muhammad Ali
  • “The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good.” – Samuel Johnson
  • “Surrender to what is, let go of what was, and have faith in what will be.” – Lolly Daskal
