“I no longer believed in the idea of soul mates, or love at first sight. But I was beginning to believe that a very few times in your life, if you were lucky, you might meet someone who was exactly right for you. Not because he was perfect, or because you were, but because your combined flaws were arranged in a way that allowed two separate beings to hinge together.”
—Lisa Kleypas (via tror)
“The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.”
—Carl Rogers (via pinkchocolatelove)
“You have been criticizing yourself for years, and it hasn’t worked. Try approving of yourself and see what happens.”
—Louise L. Hay (via pinkchocolatelove)
“The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are. You trade in your reality for a role. You trade in your sense for an act. You give up your ability to feel, and in exchange, put on a mask. There can’t be any large-scale revolution until there’s a personal revolution, on an individual level. It’s got to happen inside first.”
—Jim Morrison (via trafficintheskies)
“Remember that wherever your heart is, there you will find your treasure.”
—Paulo Coelho (The Alchemist)
“I hope you live a life you’re proud of. If you find that you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (via coffee-tea-and-sympathy)
“Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.” -Howard Thurman
“Be in love with your life. Every detail of it.”
