“Forgive your own parents for their mistakes. Forgive them for not being able to be the parents you needed. Forgive them for being unconscious, and free your soul from pain. You aren’t your past. You aren’t your childhood. Your childhood is gone, but you have today.”
― Ani Kapanadze, A Missing Drop: Free Your Mind From Conditioning And Reconnect To Your Truest Self

“Every single parent is doing the best he or she can. Never judge an angry parent who screams at their child, or judge any parent for any behavior. You don’t know them, you don’t know their story, you don’t know about their silent struggles or childhood traumas, you don’t know
how hard it is for them, you don’t know anything about anyone. you don’t know what you would do if you were in their shoes. Viktor Frankl said, “No man should judge unless he asks himself in absolute honesty whether, in a similar situation, he might not have done the same.” We all do the best we can. It is hands down the hardest never-ending but fulfilling job
on this planet. It isn’t easy to create, shape, and raise another human being when most of us aren’t raised, shaped, or grown up. So, one of the biggest lessons I also learned is to stay in my lane, don’t judge any parent, to never say never, and be compassionate toward myself and others. Of course, if you see a parent spanking a child, you have to stop them, if you know a child is in an unsafe environment, you have to change it and help any child in need, but try as hard as you can not to judge them and just let
go of your thoughts when they arise. At the end of the day, we all do the best we can with the tools we have.”

“Limitations are the illusions of our minds. Every single limit you have is the belief that was created during your childhood or by yourself in adulthood. It was created in your own mind. Marie Forleo said in one of her interviews that our beliefs create our thoughts, and our thoughts create our feelings, and our feelings creates our behavior, and our behavior creates our results. So, to change your life, you have to change your belief, but in order to change your belief, you have to go way back and figure out where it comes from.”

“Do you know how much I love sunshine? It's like even when I get hurt by the sunburn, I would still be okay to walk outside without any sunscreen. And you are my sunshine!”
― Rahma Sinta

“Today, more then ever, the chance to confront one's own dragons, to travel into one's own dark wood is truly possible. It requires the inner journey that awaits all of us at every moment of our lives. It involves as much grandeur, suspense, and need for courage as any story of medieval knights. To travel to the unknown parts of yourself, that is something not even Michael Jordan in his Nike Airs can do for you. At the same time, that journey is precisely what gives you more importance than a Michael Jordan, for you are the only one breathing with your lungs and living your life.”
― Michael Brant DeMaria, Ever Flowing On: On Being and Becoming Oneself

“Even emotions come from thoughts. Every emotion we experience is
a reaction to a certain thought that forms in our minds. Our bodies can’t
see the difference between the past, present, and future. It reacts to a
thought like we are experiencing it at that moment. That’s why when you
remember the painful event that happened ten years ago, your heart starts
beating fast or you become angry again. The body can’t differentiate
what’s happening right now and what happened ten years ago, it just re-
acts to your thoughts.”

“Being present, to live in a moment, means to be fully aware of your environment, to be fully aware of yourself, to be fully aware of your sur- roundings. Most importantly, to be aware of yourself being in the envi- ronment with your surroundings at the same time.”

“We human beings are magnets; we attract the quality life we think we deserve. We are as happy as we think we are. Our life is as good as we think it is. The quality of our life depends on the quality of our thoughts. A man is nothing but the recollection of thoughts he has about himself. Our world perception is what we think about the world. Thinking is all that is controlling our lives. Thinking is how we perceive ourselves, others, the whole world, and basically—life.”

“What you do in your past affects your present life, and what you do in your present will determine your future. This is the golden rule of life, and it’s called karma.”

“let me explain the meaning of freedom. The meaning that I think is accurate and that is true to myself.

The word freedom in the Georgian language is თავისუფალი (Tavisufali). თავის meaning His own/Her own, უფალი - God. So, I think that to be free means to be the god of yourself. To be connected to the god and his power within your- self. To be free means to be able to have control over yourself. To be fully free is to be able to control your thoughts, then control your words and your actions.”

“When one rotten apple is exposed to ones that are not, it will cause
the fruit to ripen faster and eventually rot. This is because as apples ripen,
they give off a hormone in a gaseous form called ethylene which is a
catalyst for ripening fruit. So too, life, when you are surrounded by people
who have a bad influence on you, their negative energy will sooner or later affect you.”

“Everyone has their own life map. Yes, I think that the larger purpose is the same for everyone, but the road to it is different and unique to each specific individual. Everyone is unique, so is everyone’s life unique. We all have unique actions, so we have unique karma, specific to our life. It’s like in school; you have a test, there are several versions of the test, but the highest score is the same. Imagine life is also a test, but every single person has a specific version, specific to their unique life.”

“In life, you are either buying or selling, leading or being led, and speaking or listening. You must know what you are buying and who are buying from, who you are following, or what it will lead to, and who is speaking to you or who you are listening to. If you get this you have got most of the things in life.”
― Syed Aiyaz Uddin
