As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

"People believe that if we really want to eliminate something, focus on that. How much sense does it make for us to give the particular problem all of the energy, as opposed to focusing on trust, love, living in abundance, education, or peace? -Un.

Dont cry over the small things that are put in your life. Get over them and build yourself up for the big problems.
