“Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens.”

"The most difficult times for many of us are the ones we give ourselves."
Pema Chödrön
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us: it's in everyone. And when we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

"I do not want my house to be walled in on all sides and my windows to be stuffed.
I want the cultures of all the lands to blow about my house as freely as possible.
But I refuse to be blown off my feet by any."

"You affect other people through words, actions, behaviour, responses...and your presence.

Don't impose your values...live them instead
Value your entire existence, strengths, experiences, challenges failures: Int the course of a lifetime, you can't know which events will have the greatest impact.
