Outer beauty is inner beauty made visible ...
Don't ask permission to be happy. Don't beg for forgiveness. Just do it.
If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway.
And so I am this pilgrim - if I can somehow answer your question - who's constantly amazed by this journey. Who is learning a new thing every single day. But who's not accumulating knowledge, because then it becomes a very heavy burden in your back. I am this person who is proud to be a pilgrim, and who's trying to honor his journey.
Instead of using your thoughts, become your thoughts
Everything in your life can change except ONE: your passion
There are moments in life when we need to trust blindly in intuition
Love is always the same but people change.
Either you make a mark on the world, or the world will make a mark on you.
Change. But start slowly, because direction is more important than speed
When we step out of our normal world and leave behind us all the usual barriers and prejudices, we tend to become more adventurous.
Whenever we need to make a very important decision it is best to trust our instincts, because reason usually tries to remove us from our dream, saying that the time is not yet right. Reason is afraid of defeat, but intuition enjoys life and its challenges.
Before a dream is realized the soul of the world tests everything that was learned along the way.
Sometimes love blinds us, other times it let's us see.
