“And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful

“Everything you want is on the other side of fear.”

People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle.

But I think the real miracle is not to walk either on water or in thin air, but to walk on earth.

Every day we are engaged in a miracle which we don’t even recognize:

a blue sky, white clouds, green leaves, the black, curious eyes of a child — our own two eyes.

All is a miracle.

–Thich Nhat Hanh, Vietnamese Buddhist monk

“In order for connection to happen,

we have to allow ourselves to be seen. Really seen.”

Dr. Brené Brown

“Growth fundamentally means an enlarging and expanding of one’s horizons, a growth of one’s boundaries, outwardly in perspective and inwardly in depth… Growth is re-apportionment: re-zoning, re-mapping: an an acknowledgement, and then enrichment, of ever deeper and more encompassing levels of one’s own self.”

Ken Wilber ,

No Boundary

-Eleanor Roosevelt

“What lies behind us

The best-known form is:

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,

The courage to change the things I can,

And wisdom to know the difference.

What is your Destiny?

“A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.” ― Albert Einstein

“The most fundamental aggression to ourselves, the most fundamental harm we can do to ourselves, is to remain ignorant by not having the courage and the respect to look at ourselves honestly and gently.”

— Pema Chödrön
