• The forgiving heart is capable of anything.
  I believe that deeply.
  And that's where in terms of becoming an empowered individual....
  when you get to the point where you realize you can look at someone and say
  “I love myself enough -
  not in a schmaltzy garbage sense, Hallmark stuff,
  I'm talking respect myself -
  I respect my life-force enough to no longer waste it.

• The world you see is just a movie in your mind.
  Rocks dont see it.
  Bless and sit down.
  Forgive and forget.
  Practice kindness all day to everybody
  and you will realize you’re already
  in heaven now.
  That’s the story.
  That’s the message.
  Nobody understands it,
  nobody listens, they’re
  all running around like chickens with heads cut
  off. I will try to teach it but it will
  be in vain, s’why I’ll
  end up in a shack
  praying and being
  cool and singing
  by my woodstove
  making pancakes.

  Jack Kerouac
