The more you believe it, the more it starts to become real for you. This is why it is so very important to believe in positive things, rather than negative things.

If you think life is tough, you will be proved correct too.

The amount of love, kindness, patience I have for others is is directly proportional to how much love I have for myself, because we cannot give others what we ourselves do not have.

We are all one, we are love at our core, we are magnificent

In the tapestry of life, we're all connected. Each one of us is a gift to those around us helping each other be who we are, weaving a perfect picture together.
