“In your whole life nobody has ever abused you more than you have abused yourself. And the limit of your self-abuse is exactly the limit that you will tolerate from someone else. If someone abuses you a little more than you abuse yourself, you will probably walk away from that person. But if someone abuses you a little less than you abuse yourself, you will probably stay in the relationship and tolerate it endlessly.”
― Miguel Ruiz, The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom

“If you've ever been homesick, or felt exiled from all the things and people that once defined you, you'll know how important welcoming words and friendly smiles can be.”

“Great Universe,

Thank you for my many blessings.

I thank you for the food I eat,

The roof over my head,

The comforts I enjoy,

The family that supports me,

The friends who love me,

And the health I enjoy.

May I always be grateful for these blessings and all others.”
