Imagine...

We don't fight about air because we know there's more than enough for everyone. Imagine how awesome it will be when we finally realize the same is true about everything else, too. ~Doe Zantamata

be yourself.

Be yourself. They don't have to like you, but you don't have to care.

At the right time

At the right time, a kind word from a stranger, or encouragement from a friend,
can make all the difference in the world. Kindness is free, but it's priceless.
It's always the right time.
~Doe Zantamata

Some things, you just can't do

There are some things we just can't do, no matter how much we'd like to.
Just make sure "can't" doesn't mean, "Haven't actually really tried yet."
~Doe Zantamata

To succeed in a storm

Sometimes, the challenge isn't to move forward. Ships don't move forward while in the grips of a big storm. To succeed during a storm means just to stay afloat. Don't worry so much about getting ahead. There will be time for that. For now, just get through. ~Doe Zantamata

Forgive, let go, and be free

Too often, we carry around those things from our past that hurt us the most.
Don't let past pain rob you of your present happiness.
You had to live through it in the past, and that cannot be changed, but if the only place it lives today is in your mind, then forgive, let go, and be free.
~Doe Zantamata

Try again.

Sometimes, you did your best, and all you ended up with was a big mess.
Don't be sad. You tried.
That's really all you can ever do. Rest, regroup, and begin again.
You have not failed as long as you keep on trying.
~Doe Zantamata

Compliments and Insults

Don't let compliments mess with your mind.
Don't let insults mess with your heart.
~Doe Zantamata

Forgiveness

Pain the the fist that knocks you down.
Forgiveness is the hand that helps you back up again.
~Doe Zantamata

There's no greater freedom...

There's no greater freedom than the freedom to be yourself. Give yourself that gift, and choose to surround yourself with those who appreciate you exactly as you truly are. ~Doe Zantamata
