The guilt you felt when you were smiling and others were suffering, the guilt you felt when you were petty with friends and impatient with your parents, when you were rude to your teachers and didn’t stand up for strangers, that guilt is marvellous. It proves that you are human, that you want to be better. Thank this guilt for teaching you, for making you aware. And now endeavour to better yourself. It is a lifelong work to become the person we want to be.

You must have hope in a better future and have faith in this hope. But then you must forget your hope and focus on this moment now.

We are all born as storytellers. Our inner voice tells the first story we ever hear.

You only feel powerless because your fear has given your power to the object of your fear. Once you realise this, you can claim it back.

Do not avert your eyes.It is important that you see this.It is important that you feelthis.

It doesn’t matter whether you are looking for a reason to be happy or sad, you will always find it.

Until you see beauty everywhere, in every face, until then, you are blind.

The only thing that prevents us from being happy is thinking.

When you get shy, you’re simply thinking of yourself. Stop it. Step out of yourself.
