They always say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself.
This is a new year. A new beginning. And things will change.
When we least expect it, life sets us a challenge to test our courage and willingness to change; at such a moment, there is no point in pretending that nothing has happened or in saying that we are not yet ready. The challenge will not wait. Life does not look back. A week is more than enough time for us to decide whether or not to accept our destiny.
The function of prayer is not to influence God, but rather to change the nature of the one who prays.
Love can change a person the way a parent can change a baby- awkwardly, and often with a great deal of mess.
Change will not come if we wait for some other person, or if we wait for some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.
If people refuse to look at you in a new light and they can only see you for what you were, only see you for the mistakes you've made, if they don't realize that you are not your mistakes, then they have to go.
You can't stop the future You can't rewind the past The only way to learn the secret ...is to press play.
Why do you go away? So that you can come back. So that you can see the place you came from with new eyes and extra colors. And the people there see you differently, too. Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving.
The world as we have created it is a process of our thinking. It cannot be changed without changing our thinking.
