Tragedy contains opportunity — the greater the tragedy, the greater the opportunity.
As it was for me; I was a poor student and had to learn the lessons over and over again.
Suffering is one of life's greatest teachers.
I would like to say that it was because of my brilliance that I found wisdom and completion; that would've been nice, but it's not true. Pain was my compass in life. Unease and fear were my guides; not angels, but my own demons.
If only the world taught us we are already born complete, but it seems to teach us the opposite; digging a huge hole in us that we try to fill — too often in destructive ways.
Everything is trying to complete itself in this world and we are no different.
It was not until I embraced the themes of my life, what some people call destiny, that I was finally released from them, and free.
For some, the thrust of their life is marked by some vague ambiguity with a few pleasant keynotes here and there. For others, the theme of their life is a dull pain with piercing keynotes of agony. Some lives are burdened with a sense of no destiny whatsoever — which is their theme. For me, I spent most of my life running away from my themes, but I eventually discovered you can't run from them forever — they always reappear. They'll come back in one form or another until you finally acknowledge them.
Be kind to one another and seek beauty in all you do.
There is something beautiful in you seeking freedom.
