I will no longer allow anyone to manipulate my mind and control my life in the name of love.

We [people] love ourselves with conditions. We need opinions, we need approval, we create an image of ourselves that is not what we are. This how we lose our authenticity and create masks - how we become "domesticated."

If others tell us something we make assumptions, and if they don't tell us something we make assumptions to fulfill our need to know and to replace the need to communicate. Even if we hear something and we don't understand we make assumptions about what it means and then believe the assumptions. We make all sorts of assumptions because we don't have the courage to ask questions.

For many years, I used to pray as an act of power, but that was before I had 100% faith in myself.

Every human is an artist. And this is the main art that we have: the creation of our story.

Practice makes the Master. You can reconcile what you are and what you want to be.

To say a prayer doesn't take more than a minute, but you need the discipline to do it.
