We've been infected with this idea that love is an emotion only between two people. But love is universal, an energy, a contagious force, a gift. To offer money to a homeless man is to love. To save a worm from the sun is to love. To smile at strange is love. To be grateful, to be hopeful, to be brave, to be forgiving, to be proud, is to love. - A. R. Lucas

“Vulnerability is about showing up and being seen. It’s tough to do that when we’re terrified about what people might see or think.” — Brené Brown, Rising Strong

“What happens when people open their hearts? They get better.” — Haruki Murakami

“When we experience a great loss or hurt that feels like ‘broken heartedness’, we now realize that our heart is not broken. It’s actually the heart’s protective shell of defences breaking open to allow us to feel all emotions fully” - Loch Kelly, Shift into Freedom: The Science and Practice of Open-Hearted Awareness

“Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.” - Rumi

“The wound you choose in order to interpret your pain becomes a shield of protection against forgiving, because releasing your grudge means being vulnerable again.” - Mario Martinez, The MindBody Code: How to Change the Beliefs that Limit Your Health, Longevity, and Success

“Yes, I am imperfect and vulnerable and sometimes afraid, but that doesn’t change the truth that I am brave and worthy of love and belonging” — Brené Brown

“Make your heart as vast as space, so big that nothing can harm it. When our hearts are that wide, it is as if the judgments are ripples on water, flowing away and leaving no trace. This is what vulnerability makes possible. It allows the natural strength of the heart to emerge" - Mark Coleman, Make Peace with Your Mind: How Mindfulness and Compassion Can Free You from Your Inner Critic

“This feeling of rawness is key to working with vulnerability. They often feel like one and the same thing. The challenge is to find a way to be comfortable feeling the innate vulnerability of being human. If we can hold our vulnerability with a loving attention, the painful feelings can unfold and slowly move through us” - Mark Coleman

“What to do with the time left?”
This has been my question lately. Not because I feel that the days are short, but perhaps the years are. We are all here only for a season, and this inspires me to ask, “What does the Wisest One in the Universe say about how to prioritize my time?” It’s worth some contemplation. You think, too….
It’s a daunting question. Perhaps there is some big unfinished work you still have, but as I ponder and ask those I cherish, the unanimous answer has been to spend time with those we love. Invest in care and conversation, creating good memories. Clear the air of any shadows, to the best of one’s ability. These are the small BIG things. These are the treasured times. - Mt. Norway Mommy

When you truly want something and go after it without limiting yourself with disbelief, the Universe will make it happen. - Buddha.

If you want the moon, do not hide from the night. If you want a rose, do not run from the thorns. If you want love, do not hide from yourself. - Rumi

難得一遇

萬萬對情侶 避不過巨輪
仍然我帶你前進
天要擋我 帶著你開新路
力量是你我都相信
如天註定我們 走到盡頭
用力撞壞那天門 親手自救
難得這段愛情 能捱這麼久
如何會放得低你 要認命 太荒謬
明明就是我的人 守到白頭
為著你我只怕捐軀都不夠
窮一生之力 憑一句諾言
必須挽著手
現在我能夠 立於你面前
全憑你帶領我回轉
不止一次 我士氣很低落
幸運在你決不走遠
如天註定我們 走到盡頭
用力撞壞那天門 親手自救
難得這段愛情 能捱這麼久
尤其遇見你 之後
彷彿我靈魂被擄走
相愛令我忘憂
從而為你分憂
准我用一生挽著你手
直衝開最難過關口
明明就是我的人
默默報答你的情
當你從來沒怨 能捱這麼久
如何會放得低你
你現在 太屈就
明晨就是我的人 守到白頭
為著你我所有艱苦都接受
窮一生之力 憑一句諾言
必須挽著手
終生不渝 天塌下來
只須挽著手

You are a function of what the whole universe is doing in the same way that a wave is a function of what the whole ocean is doing. - Alan Watts

Finding Our Own Truth

We must each discover our own truth.
It does not help us if those we love find their truth. They cannot give it to us. It does not help if someone we love knows a particular truth in our life. We must discover our truth for ourselves.
We must each discover and stand in our own light.
We often need to struggle, fail, and be confused and frustrated. That’s how we break through our struggle; that’s how we learn what is true and right for ourselves.
We can share information with others. Others can tell us what may predictably happen if we pursue a particular course. But it will not mean anything until we integrate the message and it becomes our truth, our discovery, our knowledge. There is no easy way to break through and find our truth.
But we can and will, if we want to.
We may want to make it easier. We may nervously run to friends, asking them to give us their truth or make our discovery easier. They cannot. Light will shed itself in its own time.
Each of us has our own share of truth, waiting to reveal itself to us. Each of us has our own share of the light, waiting for us to stand in it, to claim it as ours.
Encouragement helps. Support helps. A firm belief that each person has truth available—appropriate to each situation—is what will help.
Each experience, each frustration, each situation, has its own truth waiting to be revealed. Don’t give up until you find it—for yourself.
We shall be guided into truth, if we are seeking it. We are not alone.
Today, I will search for my own truth, and I will allow others to do the same. I will place value on my vision and the vision of others. We are each on the journey, making our own discoveries—the ones that are right for us today.

I will breathe.
I will think of solutions.
I will not let my worry control me.
I will not let my stress break me.
I. will. simply. breathe.
And it will be okay..
Because I don't quit.
Let them judge you. Let them misunderstand you. Let them gossip about you. Their opinions aren't your problem. You stay kind, committed to love, and free in your authenticity. No matter what they do or say don't you dare doubt your worth or the beauty of your truth. Just keep on thinking like you do. - Rob Dial
We are not in control of what lessons others are here to learn. - Danielle Doby

Love has inflicted so many pains on me,but that's how my life became Blesses. - Rumi

The minute to realize your worth, you shift your energy to attract new people who respect your worth. It starts with you first. - unknown
