"You don’t have to be the best at everything – if you engage in a balanced, honest way, people will respond to that authenticity." - Sapna Shah

It’s not all in your head. It’s all in your heart. It’s all in your feet. It’s all in your hips. It’s all in your shoulders. It’s all in your breath. It’s all in your body. Anything unattended to, unresolved, unhealed, and unprocessed lives in your tissues, your cells, your musculature. It may be manifest in your stinking thinking, but it doesn’t begin there. The mind does not source itself—the body does. The trick is to not try to shift the thinking from within the mind itself. You can’t. You may be able to subdue it there, but you won’t be able to resolve it. Because the troubling thoughts are merely a symptom of the deeper issues. They are a reflection of our emotional holdings and constricted musculature. They emanate from the fleshy trauma tunnels that we dug in order to survive this world. Many of us sit in the waiting room of awakening for decades, waiting impatiently for our new birth. And it never arrives, because we are looking for it where it isn’t—within the mind, itself. Babies aren’t born that way. You have to go down into the depths of the body to bring a new birth to life. Down, down, down…. into the alchemical chambers of new thought—YOUR MAGNIFICENT BODY. This is where we are born again. - Jeff Brown

Why It Seems Like Bullies Are Everywhere—and How to Stop Them

Immigrants are not here to scam the system, to break laws. They're here to be free, to improve themselves, and to live and raise a family under the auspices of all the things we stand. For liberty, freedom, freedom of speech and free press.....America stands for this thing, that if they stop standing for it, which is your huddle masses yearning to be free, we’re not America anymore. - Tom Hanks.

If you don't let the past die, it won't let you live. -

You will be lost and unlost, over and over again, relax love. You were meant to be this glorious epic story. - Kattrian Wareed

Sometimes God redeems your story by surrounding you with people who need to hear your past, so it doesn't become their future. - John Acuff

Know who you are. Know what you want. Know what you deserve. And don't settle for less. - Tony Gaskins

Never let a bad event ruin your happiness and stop you from behaving at your best. Be strong focus on insights, growth and any gains in your pain. - Karen Salmonsohn

Choose love, and i don't feel this sounds love. I will still give love.

Let it be known, that love is not love, Not unless it is felt in your bones. Let it be known that a relationship is not a relationship. Not unless the two of you are on the same page. Never give someone you deepest love. Not unless they are willing to give you theirs. And never trust anyone by their word. Let their actions speak for themselves. Let what they do soften your heart. And let how much they care, be the kind of light that warms the soul. - r.m. drake

You are a light. You are the light. Never let anyone—any person or any force—dampen, dim or diminish your light.
Study the path of others to make your way easier and more abundant. Lean toward the whispers of your own heart, discover the universal truth, and follow its dictates.
Release the need to hate, to harbor division, and the enticement of revenge. Release all bitterness. Hold only love, only peace in your heart, knowing that the battle of good to overcome evil is already won.
Choose confrontation wisely, but when it is your time don't be afraid to stand up, speak up, and speak out against injustice.
And if you follow your truth down the road to peace and the affirmation of love, if you shine like a beacon for all to see, then the poetry of all the great dreamers and philosophers is yours to manifest in a nation, a world community, and a Beloved Community that is finally at peace with itself.” - Rep. John Lewis⁣

"The primary cause of our unhappiness is not our thoughts. The monkey mind is not the source of our anxiety. It’s a symptom of it. Forget the monkey mind. The mind is not the problem—unhealed pain is. Men have been blaming the mind for their neuroses for centuries, while deftly avoiding that which sources its maladies: somatic constrictions, and unprocessed emotions stored in the body itself. It’s like losing your keys somewhere in the house, and looking for them in the car. Useless, useless, useless. Until we stop blaming the mind—and recognize that its anxieties stem from the unresolved emotional body— there will be no liberation. Shifting out of unhappiness is not a cerebral process—that’s just another ineffective band-aid. It is a visceral full-body experience. It’s the “monkey heart” that’s the issue—the state of inner turbulence and agitation that emanates from an unclear heart. The more repressed your emotional body, the more repetitive your thoughts. Flooded with unhealed emotions and unexpressed truths, the monkey heart jumps from tree-top to tree-top, emoting without grounding, dancing in its confusion. Often misinterpreted as a monkey mind, the monkey heart is reflected in repetitive thinking, perpetual anxiety and negative imaginings. To calm and clarify your mind, you have to heal your heart." - Jeff Brown, Grounded Spirituality
