“A tulip doesn’t strive to impress anyone. It doesn’t struggle to be different than a rose. It doesn’t have to. It is different. And there’s room in the garden for every flower.”

The more we allow ourselves to enjoy, the more reasons we find to be joyful.

Living meaningfully is what brings joy.

Our triumph over sorrow is not that we can avoid it but that we can endure it. And therein lies our hope; that in spirit we might become bigger than the problems we face.

You can live your life out of a circumstance or you can live your life out of a vision.

Every act of kindness on your part is a boost to your own immune system.

Love is the essential reality and our purpose on earth. To be consciously aware of it, to experience love in ourselves and others, is the meaning of life. Meaning does not lie in things. Meaning lies in us.

Ego says, “Once everything falls into place, I’ll feel peace”. Spirit says, “Find your peace, and then everything will fall into place”.

Until we have met the monsters in ourselves, we keep trying to slay them in the outer world. And we find that we cannot. For all darkness in the world stems from darkness in the heart. And it is there that we must do our work.

We don’t reach the light through endless analysis of the dark. We reach the light by choosing the light.

We were all born carrying a promise — a promise to make the world better — and there’s a yearning to make good on that promise that none of us can suppress forever.

We are not held back by the love we didn’t receive in the past, but by the love we’re not extending in the present.

Once you know that every moment and every person and every situation has something to teach you, you’re a student all day. You know it’s the depth of your observation that is the issue – not how much the world has to show you.

Carrying the past in to the present, we program the future to continue the past. Letting go the past in the present, we free the future to be something else.

Any situation that pushes our buttons is a situation where we don’t yet have the capacity to be unconditionally loving.

Withholding love is a form of self-sabotage, as what we withhold from others we are withholding from ourselves.

Life is a book that never ends. Chapters close, but not the book itself. The end of one physical incarnation is like the end of a chapter, on some level setting up the beginning of another.

I opened my mouth, almost said something. Almost. The rest of my life might have turned out differently if I had. But I didn’t.

Cristal go by the cases, wait hold up that was racist I would prefer the Aces, ain’t no different when you taste it. A 40 ounce to chase it, that’s just an understatement.

I am in love with every church And mosque And temple And any kind of shrine Because I know it is there That people say the different names Of the One God.

When you realize your potential to feel good, you will ask no one to be different in order for you to feel good.

I strive for perfection, but Im not perfect. But what I can say is my morals are totally different than any other 24-year-old rapper my age now. I look at life totally different. A whole other aspect. I have different views and morals on life in general. And opinions.

Your thoughts don’t have to be this scary. One day, it’ll be different here, safe here. I promise.

I’m a very spontaneous person. When I see something that might be fun or different, I will try it.

Be a gentle heart in a world of aggression.
