"Life can be wildly tragic at times, and I've had my share. But whatever happens to you, you have to keep a slightly comic attitude. In the final analysis, you have got not to forget to laugh."
-Katharine Hepburn |
"Faced with the choice between changing one's mind and proving that there is no need to do so, almost everyone gets busy on the proof." - John Kenneth Galbraith |
"Transformation is only valid if it is carried out with the people, not for them. Liberation is like a childbirth, and a painful one. The person who emerges is a new person: no longer either oppressor or oppressed, but a person in the process of achieving freedom. It is only the oppressed who, by freeing themselves, can free their oppressors." - Paulo Freire |
"Keep constantly in mind in how many things you yourself have witnessed changes already. The universe is change, life is understanding."- Marcus Aurelius |
"Any idiot can face a crisis – it’s the day to day living that wears you out."

Small deeds done are better than great deeds planned.

'Challenges come so we can grow and be prepared for things we are not equipped to handle now. When we face our challenges with faith, prepared to learn, willing to make changes, and if necessary, to let go, we are demanding our power be turned on.' Iyanla Vanzant

~ Let go of the place that holds, let go of the place that flinches, let go of the place that controls, let go of the place that fears. Just let the ground support me. ~ ~ Stephanie Kaza ~ |
"The aim of life is to live, and to live means to be aware, joyously, drunkenly, serenely, divinely aware." ~ Henry Miller ~ |
"I have the choice of being constantly active and happy
or introspectively passive and sad. Or I can go mad by ricocheting in between." — Sylvia Plath |
"If you expect nothing from anybody, you’re never disappointed."
— Sylvia Plath |
"Life has been some combination of fairy-tale coincidence
and joie de vivre and shocks of beauty together with some hurtful self-questioning." — Sylvia Plath |
"What did my fingers do before they held him?
What did my heart do, with its love?" — Sylvia Plath |
"Any change, any loss, does not make us victims. Others can shake you, surprise you, disappoint you, but they can't prevent you from acting, from taking the situation you're presented with and moving on. No matter where you are in life, no matter what your situation, you can always do something. You always have a choice and the choice can be power"

Like a puma in the barren wilderness Pablo Neruda I crave your mouth, your voice, your hair. Silent, starving I prowl through the streets. Bread does not nourish me, dawn disquiets me, I search the liquid sound of your steps all day. I hunger for your sleek laugh, For your hands the color of the wild grain, I hunger for the pale stones of your fingernails, I want to eat your skin like a whole almond. I want to eat the sunbeam flaring in your loveliness, The nose, sovereign of your arrogant face, I want to eat the fleeting shade of your lashes, And I walk hungry, smelling the twilight Looking for you, for your hot heart, Like a puma in the barren wilderness. |
"I am still determined to be cheerful and happy, in whatever situation I may be; for I have also learned from experience that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends upon our dispositions, and not upon our circumstances."~ Martha Washington

Coming to appreciate your worth can, in some cases, dramatically improve your circumstances by changing the choices you make and the actions you take. And as you begin to treat yourself with more respect, other people begin to do the same, since we subconsciously "train" others how to treat us through messages we send through body language, tone of voice, and other subtle cues and behaviors. Discovering your innate worth and living from that place allows you to make more constructive choices--to choose the higher roads of life.

"To be able to move on, one has to learn to forgive not only the person (or people) who have done one wrong but also oneself" - Eugenia Tripputi |
"When you start to abandoning your old beliefs or values... you may be stuck at the threshold for two or three years. Before moving on, you have to clear away your cherished beliefs." - Dick Raymond |
