To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting. —e. e. cummings

The greatest leaders are not necessarily the ones who do the greatest things. They are the ones that inspire others to do great things. #<Author:0x00007fcd464da588>
LEADERSHIP
Knowing that you love the earth changes you, activates you to defend and protect and celebrate. But when you feel that the earth loves you in return, that feeling transforms the relationship from a one-way street into a sacred bond. #<Author:0x00007fcd4650aa58>
APPRECIATING NATURE
When you stay on purpose and refuse to be discouraged by fear, you align with the infinite self, in which all possibilities exist. #<Author:0x00007fcd46542188>
PURPOSE
Love and kindness are never wasted. They always make a difference. They bless the one who receives them, and they bless you, the giver. #<Author:0x00007fcd46584998>
KINDNESS
Create what sets your heart on fire and it will illuminate the path ahead. #<Author:0x00007fcd465c2838>
CREATIVITY
Participate joyfully in the sorrows of the world. We cannot cure the world of sorrows, but we can choose to live in joy. #<Author:0x00007fcd466cf2a8>
JOY
Without leaps of imagination, or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities. Dreaming, after all, is a form of planning. #<Author:0x00007fcd46708328>
IMAGINE
Gracious acceptance is an art—an art which most never bother to cultivate. We think that we have to learn how to give, but we forget about accepting things, which can be much harder than giving... Accepting another person's gift is allowing him to express his feelings for you. #<Author:0x00007fcd46750808>
GIVING BACK
Set your life on fire. Seek those who fan your flames. #<Author:0x00007fcd46794a58>
ENCOURAGEMENT
If human beings are perceived as potentials rather than problems, as possessing strengths instead of weaknesses, as unlimited rather than dull and unresponsive, then they thrive and grow to their capabilities. #<Author:0x00007fcd467d5ff8>
ENCOURAGEMENT
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:0x00007fcd4680c738>
RIGHT CHOICES
You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe deserve your love and affection. #<Author:0x00007fcd4684f6a0>
LOVE
Compassion is a power that we first bestow on ourselves and then give away through our actions—to people, to our planet. When we recognize this, that is when love becomes our legacy. #<Author:0x00007fcd4688a8b8>
COMPASSION
I place a high moral value on the way people behave. I find it repellent to have a lot, and to behave with anything other than courtesy in the old sense of the word - politeness of the heart, a gentleness of the spirit. #<Author:0x00007fcd468ca3a0>
COURTESY
When you recover or discover something that nourishes your soul and brings joy, care enough about yourself to make room for it in your life. #<Author:0x00007fcd46b054a8>
SELF-CARE
Whatever you want to do, do it now! There are only so many tomorrows. #<Author:0x00007fcd46b86300>
