      “The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are.” ~ Joseph Campbell

          And know that every struggle in life is there to teach you a lesson, it's times like this that make you. ~ Macklemore

            “There is no shop, book, or person, that gives you confidence; it comes through reconnecting with your true authentic self.” ~ Ralph Smart, infinitewaters.net

                  “All Fords are exactly alike, but no two men are just alike. Every new life is a new thing under the sun; there has never been anything just like it before, never will be again. A young man ought to get that idea about himself; he should look for the single spark of individuality that makes him different from other folks, and develop that for all he is worth. Society and schools may try to iron it out of him; their tendency is to put it all in the same mold, but I say don’t let that spark be lost; it is your only real claim to importance.” ~ Henry Ford

                    We believe what we tell ourselves.

                        “We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, handsome, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?” ~ Nelson Mandela

                          What you ARE vs. what you AREN'T.

                            Spend a little more time trying to make something of yourself and a little less time trying to impress people... ~ The Breakfast Club

                              “If you seek reality you must set yourself free of all backgrounds, of all cultures, of all patterns of thinking and feeling. Even the idea of being man or woman, or even human, should be discarded. The ocean of life contains all, not only humans. So, first of all abandon all self-identification, stop thinking of yourself as such-and-such, so-and-so, this or that. Abandon all self-concern, worry not about your welfare, material or spiritual, abandon every desire, gross or subtle, stop thinking of achievement of any kind. You are complete here and now, you need absolutely nothing. It does not mean that you must be brainless and foolhardy, improvident or indifferent; only the basic anxiety for oneself must go. You need some food, clothing and shelter for you and yours, but this will not create problems as long as greed is not taken for a need. Live in tune with things as they are and not as they are imagined.” ~ Nisargadatta Maharaj
