Beware of those who steer you away from your heart’s true happiness. It would make them happy to see you steer yourself right next to them, sitting with both your hearts bitter.

Those who are critical don’t like being criticized, and those who are insensitive have a deficiency in their senses.

Great people will always be mocked by those who feel smaller than them.

Beware of those who step in the path of your dreams. They only dream to have the ability to take half your steps.

A lion does not flinch at laughter coming from a hyena. A gorilla does not budge from a banana thrown at it by a monkey. A nightingale does not stop singing its beautiful song at the intrusion of an annoying woodpecker.

If you hold a candle close to you, its flame rises. And if you hold it away from you, its flame shrinks. The same way you hold a candle close to you, keep all your plans, aspirations, projects, and dreams close to you too. Do not share your plans or goals until you complete them, because as you hold your candle away from you, your goals can shrink from the envious eyes of others. Animosity, jealousy and resentment can put out your flame before it grows.

Fiercely guard the passions igniting your heart, so that your flames reach the highest ceilings of success without the eyes of envy.
