Your past may not be perfect, but it was perfect for your purpose.

Our bodies need regular washing because we get dirty everyday. But so do our hearts! Because each day, people hurt us, offend us, forget us, snub us, step on us, reject us. But if we choose to forgive everyone everyday, we cleanse our hearts! We wake up the next morning refreshed and pure and lovely!

We're in this world to bring heaven down to earth.

Your goal is to launch an imperfect product and let people laugh at you.

Hangout with people who respect you. And people who inspire you.

Whenever you feel a negative emotion be alone in a room and just sit down with it and feel. Don't judge it, criticize it, intellectualize it, explain it away. Allow yourself to feel the pain. It's okay. Accompany it - breathe into it - and after a while, you'll feel the anger or fear or sadness lose it's urgency and power. Allow God to tenderly embrace you in your pain. And then, at the right time, you can let go.

Even if you don't see the results of your planting, just keep Planting your Love. Your Patience. Your Perseverance. Your Faith.
