57 Quotes by Christine Evangelou

We are so scared to fail that we fail to try, we are so fearful of being seen that we hide our heart behind a fake smile, we are so anxious of change that we close the door to it…and yet all these thoughts and emotions can be used as tools to reinforce our strength and individual impact upon the world. We move toward an enlightened way of being when we guide ourselves from a place of lack toward a place of fullness, and from a place of comfort to a place of growth.

Finding Peace- Poem Excerpt: Peace is finding your bliss Without any condition, situation, or person attached to it,Peace is the tenacity to be you and feel your heart. Peace is the sound you hear when you circle the scenery of your own soul.

This is the thing with any painful circumstanceWe keep trying to be the person we were before it,Denying that painful experience,But all this does is stunt the person we are growing into. Hurtful events always transform us in some way. A far stronger, compassionate being is born from every bladeThat cut to our heart… this is what we gain when we accept our pain. We regenerate with a brighter inner flameAs we seek our light through the shadows.

The beauty of our mind lies in its resources as our creative organizer toward our higher hopes and dreams. On the one hand it is the home of our rational and logical thought, yet on the other it is the birthplace of our creativity, where our imagination floats freely in limitless lands. When you can filter your thoughts through a lens of possibility rather than certainty, freedom instead of fear, belief over doubt, then a powerful inner magic is born.
