With self-acceptance, we have the ability to choose compassion and forgiveness over anger and self-hatred.

To surrender is not giving up the struggle, but finding peace within the struggle.

Without adversity, there would be no growth, and without growth, there would be no lesson to be learned.

To gain an overall understanding of oneself does not require looking outward - it requires the strength of looking inward.

Life is a whirlwind of many opportunities. Choose to embrace all of them in deepest gratitude. Learn to forgive yourself and honour the heart that beats within you, as well as the head that rests on your shoulders. Learn how to believe in people again and not be judging or cynical to various beliefs. We are all of one light on this one Earth, and loving humanity makes all the difference.

Who you were is not who you are. Who you are, is what you will be.

Time that is spent dwelling on the past will surely continue in your present moment - and the future.
