People use fear to control.

They use silence to protect power.

They use ignorance to ensure obedience.”

instead of constantly striving for what we don't.”

I evolved because I faced it,

understood it, and refused to let it define me."

to the poignant beauty of the world,

your heart will often break.

In fact, your heart is made to break;

its purpose is to open itself again and 

again so that it can hold ever more wonders.”

~ Andrew Harvey ~

“Believe in your infinite potential.

Your only limitations are those you impose on yourself.

Believe in yourself, in your abilities,

is discover what you yearn for.

And the most you can do is

live within that hope.

Not admire it from afar, but

live it fully, under its protection.”

and where children participate in the 

lives of adults, they are calm and happy."

necessary to let go of things;

simply because they are heavy.

So let them go, release them.

I don't tie weights to my ankles.”

not because of the weather or how beautiful the sky looks,

but because it is a new day full of opportunities

and a chance to start from scratch.”

“One of the lessons I grew up with

was to always be true to myself and

never let what others say

distract me from my goals. That’s why,

when I hear about negative

and false attacks, I don’t pay attention to them,

because I know who I am.”

~ Michelle Obama ~

especially to your loved ones, 

because we are always more cautious 

with them for fear of getting hurt."

“There is a kind of sweet innocence

in being human, in not having to be

only happy or only sad,

in the nature of being able to be broken

and whole at the same time.”

sweetens even the worst of fortunes.

I believe that this life is not everything;

neither the beginning nor the end.

I believe while I tremble; I trust while I weep."
