Wisdom

"If you look at a half-finished house that is under construction, you don't condemn it for its unfinished condition.  You don't say it's inferior to another house, nor are you concerned with its appearance.  All you do is realize its need for additional work.  Adopt this way of thinking toward yourself.  Whatever your present condition, just realize the need for more construction.  Be patient with yourself, but firm toward the neccessary work that needs to be done."
