to maintain it is really difficult,
because you are doing something against nature.

natural and spiritual, as a meaningful unity.
- Albert Einstein

While it is natural to feel some degree of
need for the approval of others, be careful.
If you find yourself unwilling to

is a sign of low self-esteem,
and in severe cases, a condition termed co-dependency.

Hearing the footsteps of his teacher,

"Everything has to die and has just so long to live."
The student showed the shattered cup, saying,
"It was time for your cup to die."

They little know what radical change are possible through prayer.
Every morning I offer my body, my mind and any ability that I posses,

or too menial when offered to Thee in loving service.

When you break up, your whole identity is
shattered. It's like death.

Pay attention and look closely.
There is beauty - there is discovery -
there in a whole new world hiding
beneath the face of the familiar.
