You receive exactly what you are moment to moment; If I'm not present to myself, I am not; To recapture your attention is to refresh yourself; What you think of as (psychological) pain is not really pain, it's a mind that doesn't know what to do with itself; Patience is born in a human being in exact proportion to seeing how impatience hurts himself and others; Humans are the first recipients of the proximity of God's life; The more you become aware of yourself, the more responsibility you have (not less) -- but the more you are also given to handle it.
