Being comes before doing
We spend most of our life running after things, doing things. We forget that being comes before doing. Those who remember this secret make an effort to "be" and discover that when they stop and observe, life helps and brings whatever is needed. Learning to be is learning to be at peace. It is our most fundamental nature.




Instead of speaking too much and wasting your energy, become experienced in the sweetness of introversion.



Faith
When I am continuously being battered by the storms of life, and my very spirit is ebbing away, then all I need to do is hang onto that gift called 'Faith', that one support which will weather the storms. Faith does not depend on a clever head, only belief: belief in the self and the strength that lies within. Faith is the seed of victory and the foundation of making the impossible possible.

the sadness in those eyes, the intelligence in that face. the fraility in those arms, the love nobody could erase. seeing the tears struggle, trying to hide the pain. it was like watching a lone bird, trying to stop the rain.
