“Do you know what it feels like to be wounded and told that you caused the wound to yourself by choosing to be where the harm landed?”

We don’t make ourselves compassionate; we are born compassionate.

Life is not fair, but we can choose to be fair humans even if life or other humans choose to be unfair to us.

The reality you live in is partially up to you. The fantasy you live in is entirely up to you.

You can draw a path for your life and have all of your goals set. You can change yourself as much as possible and change things around you just to reach those goals.

Your opinion of me does not equal my self-worth.

Letting go does not mean that you are giving up or that you are weak. It could just mean that you are no longer allowing what hurts you to control you.

Take responsibility for the choices you could have made but restrained yourself from making.

Never wish them pain. That’s not who you are. If they caused you pain, they must have pain inside. Wish them healing. That’s what they need.

If they don’t appreciate your presence, they may never recognize your absence.

My home will never welcome me if I don’t welcome me.

Never underestimate the power of fate. It can knock down the highest of goals that seem guaranteed in your life.

It was the weirdest thing ever. I said to myself: why are people always so okay with not having me in their lives?

Own your healing as you’ve owned your pain.

If you ever get the chance to treat them the way they treated you, I hope you choose to walk away and do better.

Don’t judge people and expect them to stand by your side.

If I only give you what you deserve, at least keep me away from what I don’t deserve.

If you don’t drop the ego, it will be the cause of your downfall. ⁣

Two things cause people to be destroyed: fear of poverty and seeking superiority through pride.

A warrior with a cause is the most dangerous soldier of all.

The past is only going to cause you more pain. Stay away from it.

I am above the weakness of seeking to establish a sequence of cause and effect, between the disaster and the atrocity.

Nature has no goal in view, and final causes are only human imaginings.

Foolish is the man who says that he fears death, not because it will cause pain when it arrives but because anticipation of it is painful.

I would rather discover one true cause than gain the kingdom of Persia.
