We often don’t realize that the extraordinary is to be found in the lives of ordinary people.
Courage in the path is what makes the path manifest itself.
I think bridges have a special meaning in our life. I think a book is a bridge. Any type of art is a bridge that allows different cultures to connect. You may not understand your neighbour's way of seeing life, but you sure understand your neighbour's joy in painting or dancing.
Our great goal in life is to love. The rest is silence.
When you # travel , you experience, in a very practical way, the act of # rebirth .
We assume, falsely, that how we feel now is how we will feel in the future
Relax...90% of haters are begging for love. 10% just want a little attention
Dream and don't ask too many questions, or fear will overcome your feelings.
Everyone, when they are young, knows what their destiny is.
You have to own your mistakes, otherwise your mistakes own you
You are free, but you have to choose. An open oven bakes no bread
Enjoy your magic moment today. As it will not be here tomorrow.
The only job you have in life is to recognize and honor your personal legend
Stay close to those who sing, tell stories, and enjoy life, and whose eyes sparkle with happiness. Because happiness is contagious and will always manage to find a solution, whereas logic can find only an explanation for the mistake made.
