To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best night and day to make you everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight and never stop fighting.
E.E. CummingsBy realizing the reality of our Prince within us, we are never bothered again by the fact that we do not understand ourselves. or that other people do not understand us. The only One who truly understands me is the One who made me and who redeems me.... It is a tremendous freedom to get rid of every kind of self-consideration and learn to care about only one thing- the relationship between oour Prince and ourselves.

Myspace Countdown or Myspace Layouts"I've come to the conclusion that if having things turn out the way you wanted them to is a measure of a successful life, then some would say I'm a failure. The important thing is to not be bitter over life's disappointments. Learn to let go of the past and recognize that everyday won't be sunny, and when you find yourself lost in the darkness of dispare remember it is only in the black of night that you can see the stars and those stars will lead you back home. So don't be afraid to make mistakes and stumble and fall because most of the time the greatest rewards come from doing the things that scare you the most. Maybe you'll get everything you wished for, maybe you'll get more than you ever could have imagined. Who knows where life will take you, the road is long and in the end the journey is the destination."
