“Stay away from people that make you feel like you’re hard to love.”

“All of us blossom when we feel loved and wither when we do not feel loved.”

“Silence is the best answer to someone who doesn’t value your words.”

“Everyone has a different way of escaping the dark stillness of their mind.”

“How can you say you love one person when there are ten thousand people in the world that you would love more if you ever met them? But you’ll never meet them. All right, so we do the best we can. Granted. But we must still realize that love is just the result of a chance encounter.”

The word encourage comes from the Old French “to take heart,” and with self-compassion we take heart as we guide ourselves on the path of growth and change. Rather than threatening to punish ourselves if we don’t achieve our goals, we’re kind and supportive, affirming our inherent potential.

“Don’t kill flowers growing inside of you for someone who doesn’t appreciate the way you bloom.”
