I've always been stuck in the dilemma whether or not as adult you could develop mentally after all the challenges you've survived. I've always thought you could just learn from there experiences until now. Now I know you can grow from them.

I speak not for myself but for those without voice… those who have fought for their rights… their right to live in peace, their right to be treated with dignity, their right to equality of opportunity, their right to be educated. #<Author:0x00007fc62ae38238>
EQUALITY
I claim to be a simple individual liable to err like any other fellow mortal. I own, however, that I have humility enough to confess my errors and to retrace my steps. #<Author:0x00005612f4bbfd48>
HUMILITY
We are all in this together. #<Author:0x00005612f2b2f790>

There comes a time in the spiritual journey when you start making choices from a very different place. And if a choice lines up so that it supports truth, health, happiness, wisdom and love, it’s the right choice. #<Author:0x00005612f5652e90>

PURPOSE
I began to realize how important it was to be an enthusiast in life. He taught me that if you are interested in something, no matter what it is, go at it at full speed ahead. Embrace it with both arms, hug it, love it and above all become passionate about it. Lukewarm is no good. Hot is no good either. White hot and passionate is the only thing to be. #<Author:0x00005612f5c71ec0>

MINDFULNESS
There's a difference between interest and commitment. When you're interested in doing something, you do it only when it's convenient. When you're committed to something, you accept no excuses - only results. #<Author:0x00005612f65853e0>
COMMITMENT
Civility is the art and act of caring for others. #<Author:0x00005612f5e67bf8>
