Life is a procession of painful lessons, and how precious those lessons are; so precious that we rejoice in the bitter-sweet gift of life.
The teacher can only provide the lessons, but the student ultimately decides what to learn.
We are all just humble students of the world.
Anything you want is just beyond your fear.
Fear is a prison where you are the jailer. Free yourself!
When you truly face your pain you will only see yourself. Your fear was always you.
Avoiding pain causes endless suffering for you and others. Avoiding pain is really selfishness.
Some people run from pain their whole lives, and what pain they do not digest they inflict upon others.
It is tragic the way fearful people put all of their fears and insecurities into others; the way they strangle their dreams — often in the name of love.
The only end to your pain is through fully consuming it and digesting it; otherwise it will consume you.
