Some people live as though they are already dead. There are people moving around us who are consumed by their past, terrified of their future, and stuck in their anger and jealousy. They are not alive; they are just walking corpses.

Nhat Hanh

You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don't try to forget the mistakes, but you don't dwell on it. You don't let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space.

O. Henry

It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us... There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you... We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.

Marianne Williamson
