Quotes from Cheri Huber

Going in the wrong direction but making really good time

Breathe in a smile; breathe out a chuckle. (You can do it.)

Self-judgment is how conditioned mind keeps control over your life.

The quality of your life is determined by the focus of your attention.

The quality of our lives is determined by the focus of our attention.

If you really want to know how you are you, simply pay attention to everything, believe nothing, and don't take anything personally. Everything is a clue.

The quality of your life will depend entirely on the focus of your attention.

Rather than going from where we are to where we want to be, we need to remember to be where we are, here, now. We don 't need to go anywhere else or do anything else. We don't need to go from here to there; we need to return from there to here.

If you had a person in your life treating you the way you treat yourself, you would have gotten rid of them a long time ago...

It takes a tremen­dous act of courage to admit to your­self that you are not defec­tive in any way what­so­ever.

Do something you fear, NOT to conquer the fear, NOT to accomplish a task, but to familiarize yourself with the processes with which fear protects itself, to demystify it.
