Don’t break a bird’s wings and then tell it to fly...



Don’t break a bird’s wings and then tell it to fly. Don’t break a heart and then tell it to love. Don’t break a soul and then tell it to be happy. Don’t see the worst in a person and expect them to see the best in you. Don’t judge people and expect them to stand by your side. Don’t play with fire and expect to stay perfectly safe.

Life is about giving and taking. You cannot expect to give bad and receive good. You cannot expect to give hate and receive love. So if you’re willing to see positive change in your life, you must be willing to be that change itself.

 — Najwa Zebian

If you close your mind in judgements and traffic with desires, your heart will be troubled.


If you close your mind in judgements and traffic with desires, your heart will be troubled. If you keep your mind from judging and aren’t led by the senses, your heart will find peace. Seeing into darkness is clarity. Knowing how to yield is strength. Use your own light and return to the source of light. This is called practicing eternity.

Lao Tzu

Pain can change you.


Pain can change you, but that doesn't mean it has to be a bad change. Take that pain and turn it into wisdom. 

Crying does not indicate that you are weak.


Crying does not indicate that you are weak. Since birth, it has always been a sign that you are alive. ~Charlotte Brontë

Words of Wisdom by Lao Tzu


Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.


Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love.


Be careful what you water your dreams with. Water them with worry and fear and you will produce weeds that choke the life from your dream. Water them with optimism and solutions and you will cultivate success. Always be on the lookout for ways to turn a problem into an opportunity for success. Always be on the lookout for ways to nurture your dream.


Because one believes in oneself, one doesn't try to convince others. Because one is content with oneself, one doesn't need others' approval. Because one accepts oneself, the whole world accepts him or her.



Care about what other people think and you will always be their prisoner.


Those who know do not speak. Those who speak do not know.


The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.


I have just three things to teach: simplicity, patience, compassion. These three are your greatest treasures.


Treat those who are good with goodness, and also treat those who are not good with goodness. Thus goodness is attained. Be honest to those who are honest, and be also honest to those who are not honest. Thus honesty is attained.


Mastering others is strength. Mastering yourself is true power.


Knowing others is wisdom, knowing yourself is Enlightenment.


In dwelling, live close to the ground. In thinking, keep to the simple. In conflict, be fair and generous. In governing, don't try to control. In work, do what you enjoy. In family life, be completely present.

Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don't resist them - that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.

A good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving.

When you are content to be simply yourself and don't compare or compete, everybody will respect you.

When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be.

Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.

The key to growth is the introduction of higher dimensions of consciousness into our awareness.

Health is the greatest possession. Contentment is the greatest treasure. Confidence is the greatest friend. Non-being is the greatest joy.

He who conquers others is strong; He who conquers himself is mighty.

Truthful words are not beautiful; beautiful words are not truthful. Good words are not persuasive; persuasive words are not good.

To realize that you do not understand is a virtue; Not to realize that you do not understand is a defect.

Love is of all passions the strongest, for it attacks simultaneously the head, the heart and the senses.

Anticipate the difficult by managing the easy.

He who conquers others is strong; He who conquers himself is mighty.

At the center of your being you have the answer; you know who you are and you know what you want.

Great acts are made up of small deeds.

The snow goose need not bathe to make itself white. Neither need you do anything but be yourself.

The words of truth are always paradoxical.

The wise man does not lay up his own treasures. The more he gives to others, the more he has for his own.

Author : Lao Tzu


Life offers its wisdom generously. Everything teaches. Not everyone learns.


Inspirational quotes by Nelson Mandela



Do not judge me by my successes, judge me by how many times I fell down and got back up again.

 Everyone can rise above their circumstances and achieve success if they are dedicated to and passionate about what they do.

It always seems impossible until its done.

 Difficulties break some men but make others. No axe is sharp enough to cut the soul of a sinner who keeps on trying, one armed with the hope that he will rise even in the end.


I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.

 When people are determined they can overcome anything.


Resentment is like drinking poison and then hoping it will kill your enemies.

A fundamental concern for others in our individual and community lives would go a long way in making the world the better place we so passionately dreamt of.


A good head and a good heart are always a formidable combination.

People respond in accordance to how you relate to them. If you approach them on the basis of violence, that's how they'll react. But if you say, 'We want peace, we want stability,' we can then do a lot of things that will contribute towards the progress of our society.


Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.

Without education, your children can never really meet the challenges they will face. So it's very important to give children education and explain that they should play a role for their country

I like friends who have independent minds because they tend to make you see problems from all angles.

 Courageous people do not fear forgiving, for the sake of peace.

Author : Nelson Mandela


Defeat is for the brave!


I won't tell you that defeat is a part of life. I won't tell you that there are people who have never been defeated.They are the ones who never fought. They managed to avoid scars. I will tell you this: Defeat is for the brave! The one who falls and gets up is so much stronger than the one who never fell.

by Mr. Never give up


He that is good for making excuses is seldom good for anything else. ~Benjamin Franklin


Weak people revenge. Strong people forgive. Intelligent people ignore.



My wish for you.

Wisdom is knowing the right path to take. Integrity is taking it.



However many holy words you read, however many you speak, what good will they do you If you do not act on upon them?


Just look at life with more playful eyes.


Just look at life with more playful eyes. Don’t be serious. Seriousness becomes like a blindness. Don’t pretend to be a thinker, a philosopher. Just simply be a human being. The whole world is showering its joy on you in so many ways, but you are too serious, you cannot open your heart. 

 Osho - Courage: The Joy of Living Dangerously


If you're trying to achieve, there will be roadblocks.


If you're trying to achieve, there will be roadblocks. I've had them; everybody has had them. But obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.~Michael Jordan

I am the wisest man alive, for I know one thing, and that is that I know nothing.

You have GREATNESS within you. ~Les Brown

If it's not one thing...then it's another. At times, it seems that every turn is the wrong one, and nothing is going your way. This is the time to practice patience, faith and determination. The job you lost will be replaced by a career or business that you are passionate about. The person who is no longer a part of your life has made room for someone else who will truly love and respect you.

If it's not one thing... then it's another. Perseverance, drive and moving forward with a positive mindset will help you to survive the storms of life. For now, focus on the bright side. The sun will shine on you again and you will be stronger for going through the storm. One day you'll look back, appreciate the wisdom you gained and the person you became because of these experiences. You have something special...you have GREATNESS within you! ~Les Brown

Before you speak, let your words pass through three gates. At the first gate, ask yourself, ‘Is it true?’


Before you speak, let your words pass through three gates.
At the first gate, ask yourself, ‘Is it true?’
At the second ask, ‘Is it necessary?’
At the third gate ask ‘Is it kind?~ Sufi Saying

 The Heart of Sufism

Raise your words, not voice. It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder. ~Rumi
