"The authentic self is the soul made visible."
Sarah Ban Breathnach
"Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying
when there seemed to be no hope at all."
Dale Carnegie
"The important thing is not being afraid to take a chance. Remember, the greatest failure is to not try. Once you
find something you love to do, be the best at doing it."
Debbi Fields (Founder of Mrs. Fields Cookies)
"Anything you do from the soulful self will help lighten the burdens of
the world. Anything. You have no idea what the smallest word, the
tiniest generosity can cause to be set in motion. Be outrageous in
forgiving. Be dramatic in reconciling. Mistakes? Back up and make them
as right as you can, then move on. Be off the charts in kindness. In
whatever you are called to, strive to be devoted to it in all aspects
large and small. Fall short? Try again. Mastery is made in increments,
not in leaps. Be brave, be fierce, be visionary. Mend the parts of the
world that are within your reach. To strive to live this way is the most
dramatic gift you can ever give to the world."
Clarissa Pinkola Estes
