About Me

Some of my favorite quotes:
--

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." -Marianne Williamson

"Few men are willing to brave the disapproval of their fellows, the censure of their colleagues, the wrath of their society. Moral courage is a rarer commodity than bravery in battle or great intelligence. Yet it is the one essential, vital quality for those who seek to change a world which yields most painfully to change." -Robert F. Kennedy

“If men as individuals surrender to the call of their elementary instincts, avoiding pain and seeking satisfaction only for their own selves, the result for them all taken together must be a state of insecurity, of fear, and of promiscuous misery.” —Albert Einstein

"Try not to become a man of success but rather to become a man of value." —Albert Einstein

"No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it." —Albert Einstein

One must still have chaos in oneself to be able to give birth to a dancing star.
~~friedrich nietzsche

Most people give up just when they’re about to achieve success. They quit on the one yard line. They give up at the last minute of the game, one foot from a winning touchdown.
- Ross Perot

“Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Be the living expression of God's kindness: kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile.” —Mother Teresa

“I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love.” —Mother Teresa

“If we come to the point of retaining a sense of a proportion in the midst of all the smallest as well as in the most profound of human emotions, we shall also discover that at the center of every experience is the laughter of God” —Helen Luke

"Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world." —Harriet Tubman

“To love someone deeply gives you strength. Being loved by someone deeply gives you courage.” —Lao Tzu

"The secret of genius is to carry the spirit of the child into old age, which means never losing your enthusiasm." —Aldous Huxley

"Why did I write? Because I found life unsatisfactory." —Tennessee Williams

"To be capable of steady friendship or lasting love, are the two greatest proofs, not only of goodness of heart, but of strength of mind." —William Hazlitt

"Ultimately we know deeply that the other side of every fear is a freedom." -Marilyn Ferguson

"The counter-spell for fear is courage: facing the possibility of the worst and then going ahead with what you know is right. The counter-spell for despair is action in service of a vision. The counter-spell for paralysis is stubborn, persistent passion. Even if we're wrong, if nothing we do makes a difference, courage and passion are a better place to be than hopelessness, cynicism, and fear. If the authorities repress us, that's better than becoming people who repress ourselves. If we see our dreams ripped out of our hands, that's better than never daring to dream at all." ~Starhawk

"Don't ask yourself what the world needs; ask yourself what makes you come alive. And then go and do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive." —Harold Whitman
