“In mature love, in order to reach a point where we can find the objects before us lovable, I feel that we must first focus on finding ourselves lovable. This means discovering the truth about our selves and our desires and then honoring this truth to the best of our ability. This is not so much a matter of choosing to leave a relationship because “you deserve to be loved the way you want to be loved” but because you deserve to know and be who you truly are without self-reduction.”
― Stephanee Killen, Buddha Breaking Up: A Guide to Healing from Heartache & Liberating Your Awesomeness

“A sacrifice to be real must cost, must hurt, and must empty ourselves. Give yourself fully to God. He will use you to accomplish great things on the condition that you believe much more in his love than in your weakness.”
― Mother Teresa

“Dance, when you're broken open. Dance, if you've torn the bandage off. Dance in the middle of the fighting. Dance in your blood. Dance when you're perfectly free.”
― Rumi

“Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.”
― Buddha
