It is important to draw wisdom from different places. If you take it from only one place it becomes rigid and stale.
Pride is not the opposite of shame, but its source. True humility is the only antidote to shame.
Many things that seem threatening in the dark become welcoming when we shine light on them.
There are reasons each of us are born. We have to find those reasons.
Life happens wherever you are, whether you make it or not.
While it is always best to believe in one’s self, a little help from others can be a great blessing.
Sometimes life is like this dark tunnel. You can’t always see the light at the end of the tunnel, but if you just keep moving, you will come to a better place.
There is nothing wrong with letting people who love you, help you.
You will find that if you look for the light, you can often find it. But if you look for the dark, that is all you will ever see.
There’s nothing wrong with a life of peace. I suggest you think about what it is that you want from your life, and why.
Protection and power are overrated. I think you are very wise to choose happiness and love.
Sometimes the best way to solve your own problems is to help someone else.
You have light and peace inside of you. If you let it out, you can change the world around you.
