I do my thing and you do your thing.
I am not in this world to live up to your
expectations, and you are not in this
world to live up to mine. You are you
and I am I. And if by chance we find
each other, it's beautiful. If not,
it can't be helped.

Frederick Salomon Perls

Romantic love reaches out in little ways, showing attention and admiration. Romantic love remembers what pleases a woman, what excites, and what suprises her. It's actions whisper...you are the most special person in my life.

When confronted with a difficulty, we must immediately shift our attention from the problem to the solution. We can think, speak and bring the best possible outcome into existence by focusing on where we are going, not on where we think we are.

~~Iyanla Vanzant

You give issues, fears, and ideas power by virtue of your thoughts. As you strive to become a spiritual being, taking time to pray or meditate is the perfect way to keep your head and mind clear.

~~Iyanla Vanzant

Until and unless you know that you are enough just the way you are, you will continue to look for more. Until you wholeheartedly believe in your own value, worth, and worthiness, in spite of your accomplishments and posessions, or lack thereof, there will always be a void in your spirit.

~Iyanla Vanzant

Trust your hunches. They're usually based on facts filed away just below the conscious level.

I was interested by the idea that artists working in a totalitarian dictatorship or tsarist autocracy are secretly and slightly shamefully envied by artists who work in freedom.
They have the gratification of intense interest: the authorities want to put them in jail, while there are younger readers for whom what they write is pure oxygen.

~Tom Stoppard

All which isn't singing is mere talking

all which isn’t singing is mere talking

and all talking’s talking to oneself
(whether that oneself be sought or seeking
master or disciple sheep or wolf)

gush to it as diety or devil
-toss in sobs and reasons threats and smiles
name it cruel fair or blessed evil-
it is you (ne i)nobody else

drive dumb mankind dizzy with haranguing
-you are deafened every mother’s son-
all is merely talk which isn't singing
and all talking’s to oneself alone

but the very song of(as mountains
feel and lovers)singing is silence

E. E. Cummings

“People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.
If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway.
If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway.
The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway.
For you see, in the end, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.”

― Mother Teresa

When things start to go wrong
Lord don't let it last too long
And when I think I'll go astray
Please don't let me drift from my faith.

If someone doesn't seem to understand
Lord help me so that I won't demand
Open my eyes and help me to see
Just maybe the reason is me.

Lord if someone says that we're losing touch
If it's someone I love so very much
With a gentle whisper give me a lift
Lord, please help me if I start to drift.

Esther Lorenz

I got up early one morning
and rushed right into the day.
I had so much to accomplish
that I didn't have time to pray.
Problems just tumbled about me,
and heavier came each task.
"Why doesn't God help me?"
I wondered.
He answered, "You didn't ask."
I wanted to see joy and beauty,
but the day toiled gray and bleak;
I wondered why God didn't show me.
He said, "But you didn't seek."
I tried to come into God's presence;
I used all my keys at the lock.
God gently and lovingly chided,
"My child, you didn't knock."
I woke early this morning,
and paused before entering the day;
I had so much to accomplish
that I had to take time to pray.

“Whatever you proclaim as your identity here in the material realm is also your drag. You are not your religion. You are not your skin color. You are not your gender, your politics, your career, or your marital status. You are none of the superficial things that this world deems important. The real you is the energy force that created the entire universe!”
