Strain, struggle, frustration, tension, anxiety, compulsion, obsession and fear are the results you get when you are pushing too hard. (Iyanla Vanzant, Until Today! 11 March)

... insight alone is not sufficient to ... [solve a problem,] simply knowing that we have a problem does not solve the problem, although it helps. (Ratey and Johnson, Shadow Syndromes, p. 335)

... the anxious person may spend hours of his day ruminating about whatever worry currently lays claim to his soul. (Ratey and Johnson, Shadow Syndromes, p. 280)

When you are not in perfect harmony with yourself, you are your own worst enemy. (Thomas 'A Kempis, The Imitation of Christ, Book 1, Chapter 13, p. 100)
