“What the eye doesn’t see, the heart doesn’t grieve over.”
”I don’t regret the painful times; I bear my scars as if they were medals.”
“Blessed are those who are not afraid to admit that they don’t know something.”
“My heart might be bruised but it will recover and become capable of seeing the beauty of life once more.”
“Freedom is not the absence of commitments but the ability to choose –and commit myself to- what is best for me.”
“All you have to do is pay attention, lessons always arrive when you are ready, and if you can read the signs, you will learn everything you need to know in order to take the next step.”
“I learned something recently: our true friends are those who are with us when the good things happen. They cheer us on and are pleased by our triumphs. False friends only appear at difficult times, with their sad, supportive faces, when, in fact, our suffering is serving to console them for their miserable lives.”
“The energy of hatred won’t get you anywhere; but the energy of forgiveness, which reveals itself through love, will transform your life in a positive way.”
“Love is an untamed force. When we try to control it, it destroys us. When we try to imprison it, it enslaves us. When we try to understand it, it leaves us feeling lost and confused.”
“In contradiction, love grows in strength. In confrontation and transformation, love is preserved.”
“Love is the only thing that activates our intelligence and our creativity, that purifies and liberates us.”
“The acomodador: there is always an event in our lives that is responsible for us failing to progress.”
“..as we empty our minds of old stories, a new space opens up, a mysterious feeling of joy slips in, our intuitions grow sharper, we become braver, take more risks, do things which might be right or which might be wrong, we can't be sure, but we do them anyway.”
“That is why it is so important to let certain things go. To release them. To cut loose. People need to understand that no one is playing with marked cards; sometimes we win and sometimes we lose. Don't expect to get anything back, don't expect recognition for your efforts, don't expect your genius to be discovered or your love to be understood. Complete the circle. Not out of pride, inability or arrogance, but simply because whatever it is no longer fits in your life. Close the door, change the record, clean the house, get rid of the dust. Stop being who you were and become who you are.”
