“Forgiving yourself, believing in yourself and choosing to love yourself are the best gifts one could receive.”

“The Source of all things, the luminescence, has more forms than heaven’s stars, sure. And one good thought is all it takes to make it shine. But a single mistake can burn down a forest in your heart, hiding all the stars, in all the skies. And while a mistake’s still burning, ruined love or lost faith can make you think you’re done, and you can’t go on. But it’s not true. It’s never true. No matter what you do, no matter where you’re lost, the luminescence never leaves you. Any good thing that dies inside can rise again, if you want it hard enough. The heart doesn’t know how to quit, because it doesn’t know how to lie. You lift your eyes from the page, fall into the smile of a perfect stranger, and the searching starts all over again. It’s not what it was. It’s always different. It’s always something else. But the new forest that grows back in a scarred heart is sometimes wilder and stronger than it was before the fire. And if you stay there, in that shine within yourself, that new place for the light, forgiving everything and never giving up, sooner or later you’ll always find yourself right back there where love and beauty made the world: at the beginning. The beginning. The beginning.”
― Gregory David Roberts, The Mountain Shadow

“Be true to yourself. Listen to your inner call and live life to the fullest. The flower focusses on the sunlight instead of the thorns that lie around it. Our life too is made beautiful by what we choose to focus upon.”
― Sanchita Pandey, Lessons from My Garden

“Success lasts a lifetime but stops at the end of your life. Significance lasts many lifetimes and continues long after you’re gone.”
