There is no adversity that cannot bear a gift and no gift that cannot bring adversity.

My simple explanation of why we human beings, the most advanced species on earth, cannot find happiness, is this: as we evolve up the ladder of being, we find three things: the first, that the tension between the range of opposites in our lives and society widens dramatically and often painfully as we evolve; the second, that the better informed and more intelligent we are, the more humble we have to become about our ability to live meaningful lives and to change anything, even ourselves; and consequently, thirdly, that the cost of gaining the simplicity the other side of complexity can rise very steeply if we do not align ourselves and our lives well.

Lineage, personality, and environment may shape you, but they do not define your full potential.

I was familiar with humans at this point only from afar, but even from there, I found them a pitiable species: scaleless, fangless, clawless, nearly furless, wingless, venomless, witless. I honestly didn't understand how they had thrived so.

Nothing remains idle and thrives. Life needs a moving force to prevent the devastating effects of stagnancy. That is why life employs change.

Your greatest responsibility is to live a life that nourishes your highest truth.

Sometimes you need a little crisis to get your adrenaline flowing and help you realize your potential.

Make good boundaries your goal. They are your right, your responsibility, your greatest source of dignity.

High above the noise and fear mongering of critics and cynics softly speaks your true self.

If you are unable to find the right environment, make one of your OWN and surround yourself with books, music and activities that inspire you. Always remember that when you’re living a life in tandem with your DESTINY, it’s a single file - there is enough room just for YOU - and that’s OKAY!.
