“Never settle for anything less. The greatest injustice you can do to yourself is to be mediocre. Do your best, even if you have to make a lot of sacrifices, even if you're afraid of failing, even if people discourage you and say otherwise. When you know that you have done all that you can, there will be no room for regret, shame, anger, humiliation, and frustration, no matter what.”

“I know you may not be able to hear anything now, even if you try, but please don't give up. I fee sure that one day you will find whatever it is you seek, and that the spark that leads to it will come from hearing some kind of voice. People's lives never stay the same colour forever. There are times when the colour of life changes completely.”

“Everybody is in such a hurry to achieve something or become someone, that we forget to be thankful for what we have in the now. We are always where we are meant to be.”

“Satisfy your mind by responding to your senses.
We need to be actively conscious of them and not going about aimlessly in our daily lives. Note the differences between the following:
The passive state of seeing and the active state of looking.
The passive state of hearing and the active state of listening.
The passive state of noticing a smell and the active state of smelling something.
The passive state of tasting something and the active state of savouring it.
The passive state of touching something and the active state of feeling it.”
