You know I can't stand you And I hate sitting next to you in class You're such a distraction You really know how to piss me off And you take advantage of that I love...

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, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn&#039;t serve the world. There&#039;s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won&#039;t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is 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.<br /> -Marianne Williamson

&ldquo;For one human being to love another; that is perhaps the most difficult of our tasks; the ultimate, the last test and proof; the work for which all other work is but preparation.&rdquo;<br /> -Rainer Maria Rilke

If you can&#039;t do it, try again. The only way you&#039;ll be able to accomplish anything is if you believe you can... so what&#039;s impossible? Nothing is impossible.

~a woman looked at me and said, &quot;You know, you really don&#039;t look Indian.&quot;So I smiled at her and responded: &quot;Well you don&#039;t look stupid, but appearances can be awfully deceiving.&quot;~
