Hard on Yourself Quotes

“You’re so hard on yourself. Take a moment. Sit back. Marvel at your life: at the grief that softened you, at the heartache that wisened you, at the suffering that strengthened you. Despite everything, you still grow. Be proud of this.”

Beyond the Quote (105/365)

Why are you so hard on yourself?  Is it because you think being hard on yourself will make you hard?  Is it because that’s the way others have treated you?  Is it because you have high expectations of yourself and want to do bigger and better things?  Well, what if, by making yourself “hard” you lose your soft touch?  What if you lose your malleability and more easily crack and break down?  What if you become more “hard headed” and stiff and rigid to the world and in how you think?  Maybe we should take a moment and reconsider what it means to be “hard.”
