Even if you cannot change all the people around you, you can change the people you choose to be around. Life is too short to waste your time on people who don’t respect, appreciate, and value you. Spend your life with people who make you smile, laugh, and feel loved.
~ Roy T. Bennett
Even if You Cannot Change All the People
I Have Come to Accept the Feeling of Not Knowing
I have come to accept the feeling of not knowing where I am going. And I have trained myself to love it. Because it is only when we are suspended in mid-air with no landing in sight, that we force our wings to unravel and alas begin our flight. And as we fly, we still may not know where we are going to. But the miracle is in the unfolding of the wings. You may not know where you’re going, but you know that so long as you spread your wings, the winds will carry you.

How Many Times Will we Cross Paths
How many times will we cross paths with a precious soul and wished we knew them sooner. Some souls come and give us this light. They share something beautiful and heartfelt. They share this type of love that’s only believed to exist in fantasies and movies. A rare type of love. But it’s there. It’s here. It’s in you. It’s definitely real. I could sit here and write so much about these rare souls. They are beautiful individuals. Souls that have been through so much in life. They have felt it all. They’ve felt their pain, my pain and your pain. The reason they are so special is because they have survived. They have transformed all that suffering and turned it into a healing for others. It’s not easy for them sometimes. But they have volunteered to showcase that purity within. Hoping to touch one soul at a time.

The More you Wake Up
The more you wake up, the more you realize everything that’s happening is a sign.
Books open at the right place when you’re beginning to become awake. You can be saved by messages you read in the sign on the road. You can be illuminated by somebody sitting next to you in a bus and humming a folk song that goes straight to the core of the problem…

For a Lot of Empaths
For a lot of empaths, people-pleasing tendencies first develop as forms of self-protection. Since we can feel people’s disapproval, judgments and criticisms so strongly, we learn at a very early age how to give people what they want to avoid the pain of their disappointment. This turns into a vicious cycle of overgiving, overachieving, and overanalyzing our way through life.
