"You can forget how to hate, but you can never forget how to love."

"I have yet to figure out a better way to combat hate than to love harder."

"Sheep sheep are adorable. Human sheep, not so much. Think for yourself, for flock’s sake."

"My love and anger are in deep conversation these days, teaching and learning from one another. I'm doing my best to stay open to all of it. I’m curious to see what love does with all my anger."

"at last he understood that he has always been forgiven and worthy of love,and that no one could take that from him, that not even he could take that from himself."

"Love doesn't pity, nor does it resent. Love understands that, no matter our circumstances, we are all equal. We are all the same. We are all worthy of Love. Some have it harder than you. Some have it easier than you. Love them equally."

"We can't always know why things happen the way they happen, or why a person makes the choices they do. Knowing why isn't necessary to move forward, unless we make it so. You may never find out why. Don’t let that keep you from moving on with your life."

"The more accepting I've become about all the pieces of myself—even the crazed, hysterical ones—the more relaxed I've become with who I am. And then one day you figure out how to be more peaceful with all of your hysteria, and suddenly you’re not as hysterical so often."

"Don’t count on cheerleaders once you start living a life more reflective of your truth. They may not want to do somersaults and backflips for your awakening, not when they’re still asleep. Don’t let that stop you. Most of us have only been trained to cheer for conformity, to commend those who are just like us. But aren’t you bored of being congratulated for fitting in? Aren’t you tired of ignoring your heart’s requests?Don’t wait for cheerleaders. Be grateful if they show up, but you show up regardless, with or without them. You will never be defined by the reception you get from others, only by the truth with which you receive yourself. Be your biggest cheerleader. Love yourself. And applaud every single step you take toward truth."

"Your past and your pain will certainly impact you,but they don’t have to define you. You get to write your own definition."

"You are positively beautiful and I love you. Pass it on…"

"Kindness danced through the streets,leaving warmer hearts and smiles everywhere it dared to show itself."

"If you can’t see some part of yourself in every single person you encounter, then you’re not looking closely enough, at the person or at yourself."

"when you hate others, you hate yourself.when you hate yourself, you hate others.when you love others, you love yourself.when you love yourself, you love others.there is no separation."

"Being right is massively overrated, especially when it comes at the expense of being compassionate and kind."

"Approaching this day with optimism and fire, with patience and determination, with compassion and love."

"When you give to others, you give to yourself."

"There's just no time for hatred. It's lazy and destructive. We can all do better. Our world needs us to. I love you."

"And then it hit me—I don’t have to participate in these toxic conversations. But if I choose to, I can set a different example. I can bring love to the moment,regardless of the response. I can choose to be kind, no matter what. My power lives in my love."

"I can think of no greater way to live my life than with as much love as I can give, as often as I can give it."
