Miguel Ruiz
“First, we need to forgive our parents, our brothers, our sisters, our friends, and God. Once you forgive God, you can finally forgive yourself. Once you forgive yourself, the self-rejection in your mind is over. Self-acceptance begins, and the self-love will grow so strong that you will finally accept yourself just the way you are. That's the beginning of the free human. Forgiveness is key.”
Don Miguel Ruiz, The Four Agreements

James Baldwin
“If you know whence you came, there is really no limit to where you can go.”
James Baldwin, The Fire Next Time

Atul Gawande
“Arriving at meaningful solutions is an inevitably slow and difficult process. Nonetheless, what I saw was: better is possible. It does not take genius. It takes diligence. It takes moral clarity. It takes ingenuity. And above all, it takes willingness to try.”
Atul Gawande

José Martí
“May the limitations of love not cast a spell
On the serious ambitions of my mind.”
José Martí

Thich Nhat Hanh
“Breathing in, I see all my ancestors in me: my mineral ancestors, plant ancestors, mammal ancestors, and human ancestors. My ancestors are always present, alive in every cell of my body, and I play a part in their immortality.”
Thich Nhat Hanh, The Art Of Living
