"May you continue to meet the people you need to meet in order to be the person you want to be."
"I believe all suffering is caused by ignorance. People inflict pain on others in the selfish pursuit of their happiness or satisfaction. Yet true happiness comes from a sense of peace and contentment, which in turn must be achieved through the cultivation of altruism, of love and compassion, and elimination of ignorance, selfishness, and greed."

PLAN ONE
Celebrations of the heart do not come easy. Yet they abound and sound around us, waiting only for the merrymakers to enter and start the revelry.
Rather than confound a new love with confetti or take one unaware by putting on the kind of mask that puts one off, open up. Let go. The worst you'll come away with is a tin horn blaring in your ear, a firecracker burn, or someones hastily scribbled address wadded in your pocket.
Pinatas and Christmas crackers abound in celebrations small or large, needing only to be broken open. Go then with a cane and wave it in the air. The festival begins when you are ready - not a moment sooner.

You Are An INFJ
The Protector
You live your life with integrity, originality, vision, and creativity.
Independent and stubborn, you rarely stray from your vision - no matter what it is.
You are an excellent listener, with almost infinite patience.
You have complex, deep feelings, and you take great care to express them.
You would make a great photographer, alternative medicine guru, or teacher.
