Remember, even if a thought or emotion feels urgent and is demanding a response from you, you are the boss. You don’t need to respond to every emotion, word, or action.

Caroline Leaf

Caroline Leaf (geboren 1963) ist eine südafrikanisch-US-amerikanische Kommunikationspathologin, Buchautorin und Vortragsrednerin im freikirchlich-charismatischen Umfeld. Sie wurde durch Bestseller wie „Switch On Your Brain“ bekannt, in denen sie biblische Aussagen zur Sinneserneuerung mit Konzepten der Neuroplastizität und mentalen Entgiftung verknüpft. Bibellesern bietet sie alltagsnahe Impulse zum Umgang mit belastenden Denkmustern, steht jedoch wegen methodisch fragwürdiger neurowissenschaftlicher Behauptungen und einer pauschalen Reduktion von Krankheitsursachen auf falsches Denken in der Kritik.

Francis of Assisi

Let nothing disturb you, let nothing frighten you. All things pass away. God never changes. Whoever has God lacks nothing. God alone suffices.

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
