Write them, above all, in your heart; there they can be neither burned nor destroyed, and you will take them wherever you go.
Teaching is only demonstrating that it is possible. Learning is making it possible for yourself.
The secret of happiness is to see all the marvels of the world, and never to forget the drops of oil on the spoon.
Making mistakes is just part of life. What does the world want of me? Does it want me to take no risks, to go back to where I came from because I didn't have the courage to say "yes" to life?
When you find your path, you must not be afraid. You need to have sufficient courage to make mistakes. Disappointment, defeat, and despair are the tools God uses to show us the way.
It`s always necessary to know when a stage of one`s life has ended. If you stubbornly cling to it after the need has passed, you lose the joy and meaning of the rest.
It isn`t what you did in the past that will affect the present. It`s what you do in the present that will redeem the past and thereby change the future.
Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And that no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams, because every second of the search is a second’s encounter with God and with eternity.
