“To the heart in you, don’t be afraid to feel. To the sun in you, don’t be afraid to shine. To the love in you, don’t be afraid to heal. To the ocean in you, don’t be afraid to rage. To the silence in you, don’t be afraid to break.”
~ Najwa Zebian

The future is a concept—it doesn’t exist. There is no such thing as tomorrow. There never will be because time is always now. That’s one of the things we discover when we stop talking to ourselves and stop thinking. We find there is only present, only an eternal now. ~Alan Watts

Imagine becoming the way you used to be as a very young child, before you understood the meaning of any word, before opinions took over your mind.The real you is loving, joyful, and free. The real you is just like a flower, just like the wind, just like the ocean, just like the sun.Miguel Angel Ruiz

"If you have kindness in your heart, you offer acts of kindness to touch the hearts of others wherever you go—whether they are random or planned. Kindness becomes a way of life."
