“Forgiveness is not a matter of exonerating people who have hurt you. They may not deserve exoneration. Forgiveness means cleansing your soul of the bitterness of ‘what might have been,’ ‘what should have been,’ and ‘what didn’t have to happen.’ Someone has defined forgiveness as ‘giving up all hope of having had a better past.’ What’s past is past and there is little to be gained by dwelling on it. There are perhaps no sadder people then the men and women who have a grievance against the world because of something that happened years ago and have let that memory sour their view of life ever since.” - Rabbi Harold S Kushner

"It's madness
to hate all roses
because you got scratched
with one thorn,

to give up all dreams
because one of them
didn't come true,

to give up all attempts
because one of them failed.

It's folly to condemn
all your friends
because one has betrayed you,

to no longer believe in love
just because someone
was unfaithful
or didn't love you back,

to throw away
all your chances to be happy
because something went wrong.

There will always
be another opportunity,
another friend,
another love,
a new strength.

For every end,
there is always
a new beginning.

And now here is my secret,
a very simple secret:
It is only with the heart
that one can see rightly;
what is essential,
is invisible to the eye." - Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince, 1943

Vulberability is the courage to be your self, say what you mean, act out your truth, and lead with your heart. There is no greater love. - J. Mike Fields

I don't know who needs to hear this but, your value does not decrease based on someone's inability to see your worth!! - unknown

when you finally learn that a person's behavior has more to do with their own internal struggle than you, you learn grace. - Allison Aars

Don't be the reason someone feels insecure. Be the reason someone feels seen, heard and supported by the whole universe. - Cleo Wade
