Don't be afraid to pursue goals that seem like a stretch to accomplish.

Self-compassion works so much better than being rude to yourself.
I know it might feel strange to you to be kind to yourself, because you have gotten used to treating yourself like dirt.
But PLEASE give it a try.
Talk to yourself like you would talk to a good friend.
Try it!

Stop being so hard on yourself. Stop being disappointed in yourself. Stop judging yourself. You’ve come too far to start doubting yourself right now. Just believe in yourself even when it seems hard to. Remember your inner strength, you’ve overcame so much with it.

Comparing yourself to others places you in a position in which you can never win. There is always someone who has more or is better than you at something. A better plan is to compare yourself to yourself and to focus on how far you have come. #TuesdayThoughts

Compliment others more.
You’ll barely remember you did it, but the other person may never forget that you did.
Kindness has unlimited upside.

Access for disabled people is not a theoretical, untested model.
In virtually every instance, it is known what will make an entity or edifice accessible.
Yet, it is rarely done.
It is mindful,
It is a mandate.
It must be done.

At 57 percent, Maine has the highest organ donor registration rate in the northeast. In the past five years, there has also been a 30 percent increase in organs transplanted from donors in the New England region. That increase is even higher here in Maine. @WGME @FOX23Maine
