Quiet Reflections ...

Do not undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others ... it is because we are different that each of us is special.
Do not let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past nor for the future ... by living your life one day at a time, you live all the days of your life.
It is a fragile thread that binds us to each other ... do not be afraid to encounter risks, it is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.
The quickest way to receive love is to give love ... the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly and take it for granted.
Do not dismiss your dreams ... to be without dreams is to be without hope ... to be without hope is to be without purpose.
Do not run through life so fast that you forget not only where you have been ... but also where you are going, where you are meant to be.
Knowing who and what we are and why we are here, is not something we have to earn by getting right, choosing perfectly, or trying harder.
Sometimes work is required, sometimes it hurts ... sometimes life overwhelms us and our vision of ourselves becomes a little blurry.
Growth is sometimes about joy and laughter ... growth is sometimes about pain and tears.
The truth is, none of us know how long we have here, being human means we are mortal.
Knowing this and being forced to face the impermanence of our reality and existence, we may be tempted to move away from loving deeply in order to protect ourselves and those we love from feeling loss.
But that would simply be fighting another aspect of the reality of being human, the reality of loving fiercely ... of appreciating deeply and so being attached to beauty, we experience with the people we love.
Being human means we are not detached ... we are deeply connected to and affected by life, so we risk.
Open your heart, offer it freely to those you love ... be there without question, without requirement, love them and allow them to love you.
Life is not a race ... but a journey to be savored each step of the way.
Do not give up when you still have something to give.
Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.
