"Waking up to the reality. Knowing of this 'I' can lead to a state of devotion of love. It is spontaneous. There is no need of surrender as it is already there. It is knowing that everything belongs to the divine, the thorn as well as the roses belong to the divine. What happens when you surrender? A permanent peace dawns in you, a smile that no one can take away from you."

"Don't blame the past or others for your downfalls or failures; choices that you make are the ones that carry you to where you set your mind to. Look from where you were to where you are; look how far you have come and faced. Admire your accomplishments, large or small, tremendous or tiny; they contribute to the well being of this world. A little light somewhere makes a brighter light everywhere."

"Oneness is the goal of all true religion. You can call that oneness moksha, nirvana, Godliness, or whatsoever you like, but oneness of the whole existence. The trees, the rocks, the stars, the people, the animals, the birds
they are all one. It is one life manifesting in millions of ways, one ocean waving in millions of waves, but one ocean. Each single wave has no separate identity."

"The road to success is not straight. There is a curve called Failure, a loop called Confusion, speed bumps called Friends, red lights called Enemies, caution lights called Family; you will have flats called Jobs. But, if you have a spare called Determination, an engine called Perseverance, insurance called Faith, a driver called Jesus, you will make it to a place called Success."

This is one of my favorite quotes. A friend shared it with me when I was going through a very, very difficult life changing event years ago. Since then I read it weekly. It's my self-motivation. It reminds me of where I was, where I am now and the determination to never go back.
My prayer to you almighty god
Make me better with each day
Hold my hand and walk with me
And guide me on each new pathway
For those that I have trotted on
For mistakes that I have made
Forgive me almighty god
That I let myself go astray
For the choices I make today
And many of life trials I will face
My promise to you almighty god
That in your hands I will always leave my fate.

"Life is a puzzle; every piece is put together to create who we are, what we do and how we feel. Every experience shapes us into who we eventually become.Every trauma we faced wasn't easy through its hurts but was allowed to shape our heart so that we'll grow into a better man we dreamt of."
