"People are just as wonderful as sunsets if you let them be. When I look at a sunset, I don’t find myself saying, “Soften the orange a bit on the right hand corner.” I don’t try to control a sunset. I watch with awe as it unfolds."
Carl R. Rogers (via lebellecoeur)
"Like the old Hawaiians always said: If you’ve got no reason to stay, then that’s a good reason to go."
Tito Makani (via potterismyhomeboy)
"Respect yourself enough to walk away from anything that no longer serves you, grows you, or makes you happy."
A good woman doesn’t leave so easily. She doesn’t leave when she faces a difficulty. But if she made up her mind, she will leave one way or the other… Nonetheless, she looks around her before she leaves to see if there is anyone who will be sad or hurt by her leaving. Even if she cries, she will leave for her honor. However, she will never leave anyone behind disabled. If she is leaving, it is because she doesn’t see herself valued… Because she understands that her presence there doesn’t mean anything.
"Anyone can become angry - that is easy. But to be angry with the right person, to the right degree, at the right time, for the right purpose, and in the right way - that is not easy."
Aristotle, The Nichomachean Ethics
*Note to self.
"You can accept or reject the way you are treated by other people, but until you heal the wounds of your past, you will continue to bleed. You can bandage the bleeding with food, with alcohol, with drugs, with work, with cigarettes, with sex, but eventually, it will all ooze through and stain your life. You must find the strength to open the wounds, stick your hands inside, pull out the core of the pain that is holding you in your past, the memories, and make peace with them. - Iyanla Vanzan"
