For the warrior, there is no "better" or "worse"; everyone has the necessary gifts for his particular path.

We learn in the past, but we are not the result of that. We suffered in the past, loved in the past, cried and laughed in the past, but that's of no use to the present. The present has its challenges, its good and bad side. We can neither blame nor be grateful to the past for what is happening now. Each new experience of love has nothing whatsoever to do with past experiences. It's always new.

Don't ask permission to be happy. Don't beg for forgiveness. Just do it.

Today I am a woman torn between the terror that everything might change and the equal terror that everything might carry on exactly the same for the rest of my days.

Forgive but do not forget, or you will be hurt again. Forgiving changes the perspectives. Forgetting loses the lesson.

Courage. By beginning the journey with that word and continuing with faith in God, you will arrive wherever you need to arrive.

Listen to your heart. It knows everything.
