Don’t get lost in your pain, know that one day your pain will become your cure.
It’s good to leave each day behind, like flowing water, free of sadness. Yesterday is gone and its tale told. Today new seeds are growing.

Be a lamp, or a lifeboat, or a ladder.
If you wish mercy, show mercy to the weak.
Trust means you’re ready to risk what you currently have.
Through Love all that is bitter will be sweet, Through Love all that is copper will be gold, Through Love all dregs will become wine, through Love all pain will turn to medicine.
You were born with potential. You were born with goodness and trust. You were born with ideals and dreams. You were born with greatness. You were born with wings. You are not meant for crawling, so don’t. You have wings. Learn to use them and fly.

When someone critises or disagrees with you, a small ant of hatred and antagonism is born in your heart. If you do not squash that ant at once, it might grow into a snake, or even a dragon.
If light is in your heart, you will find your way home.
Ignore those that make you fearful and sad, that degrade you back towards disease and death.
In order to understand the dance one must be still. And in order to truly understand stillness one must dance.
My dear heart, never think you are better than others. Listen to their sorrows with compassion. If you want peace, don’t harbor bad thoughts, do not gossip and don’t teach what you do not know.
I smile like a flower not only with my lips but with my whole being.
