“You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere. You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.”— Buddha

“Allow yourself to become who you are meant to become. In life, others will develop differently than you. They will form a different set of opinions. They will simply be different. However, that is natural, for everyone is called to become their own person. You be you, regardless of anyone else. Don’t allow the differences that may exist persuade you to hide your true self.”— Nicole Addison @thepowerwithin

“Nothing is as beautiful as someone who has survived losing everything and still has a tender heart.”— deep life quotes
“If you’re looking for the word that means caring about someone beyond all rationality and wanting them to have everything they want, no matter how much it destroys you, it’s “love”. And when you love someone you don’t just stop, ever. Even when people roll their eyes or call you crazy. Even then, especially then. You don’t give up. Because if you could give up, if you could just take the whole world’s advice and move on and find someone else, that wouldn’t be love. That would be some other disposable thing that is not worth fighting for.”— Ted Mosby, How I Met Your Mother (Season 9, Episode 17)

“Would that there were an award for people who come to understand the concept of enough. Good enough. Successful enough. Thin enough. Rich enough. Socially responsible enough. When you have self-respect, you have enough.”—

“Instead of saying ‘I’m damaged, I’m broken, I have trust issues’ say ‘I’m healing, I’m rediscovering myself, I’m starting over.’ Positive self-talk.”— Horation James
