&quot;Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, &#039;Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented?&#039; Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world; there is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that others won&#039;t feel insecure around you. We were all meant to shine as children do. We were all born to make manifest the glory of God that&#039;s within us - it&#039;s not just in some of us, it&#039;s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.&quot;<br /> -Nelson Mandela

they say the mind bends and twists to deal with the horrors of life... <br /> ...some times the mind bends so much it snaps in two. <br /> <br /> Love at first sight wastes less time

&quot;I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go , things go wrong so that you can appreciate them when they&#039;re right , you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself , and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together .&quot;
