Don’t be someone that searches, finds, and then runs away
Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get — only what you are expecting to give — which is everything. What you will receive in return varies. But it really has no connection with what you give. You give because you love and cannot help giving.
When we least expect it, life sets us a challenge to test our courage and willingness to change; at such a moment, there is no point in pretending that nothing has happened or in saying that we are not ready. The challenge will not wait. Life does not look back. A week is more than enough time for us to decide whether or not to accept our destiny.
Paulo Coelho
I hope you live a life you’re proud of. If you find that you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again.
Groceries, you need to learn how to select your thoughts just the same way you select what clothes you’re gonna wear every day. If you want to control things in your life so bad, work on the mind. That’s the only thing you should be trying to control.” Richard from Texas to Liz Gilbert
Eat Pray Love - Elizabeth Gilbert
People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that’s what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that’s holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life. A true soul mate is probably the most important person you’ll ever meet, because they tear down your walls and smack you awake.
Richard from Texas (Eat Pray Love - Elizabeth Gilbert)
I think there is something beautiful in reveling in sadness. The proof is how beautiful sad songs can be. So I don’t think being sad is to be avoided. It’s apathy and boredom you want to avoid. But feeling anything is good, I think. Maybe that’s sadistic of me.
