How screwed up is the world where we endure so much stress every day and still wind up feeling insufficient?

When good doesn’t seem to be good enough and when doing better somehow has little impact on happiness.

• Everyone is okay the way they are.
• No one gets to tell you how you need to be better – that’s always your decision.
• For every self-deprecating thought you harbor, balance it with one about a strength you possess to keep things in balance.
• If you want to make yourself really miserable, try to change another person.  And keep this in mind when someone else tries to change you.
• Fred Rogers told his kid’s audience on the PBS television show Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood that he liked them just the way they are.  Ironically, productive change comes when we like others and ourselves the way we are as opposed to how someone else wants us to be.
