“I still believe that a human being does not die at once, but in a way, we die in pieces; whenever a friend departs, a piece dies and whenever a lover leaves, a piece dies and whenever a dream of our dreams is killed, a piece dies, then finally, the greater death arrives, only to see all our pieces long dead, so he picks them up and departs.”  Khalil Gibran

“Many people think that being spiritual means being positive, but being spiritual means being conscious and aware.  To become conscious is a much different thing than to become positive.  To become conscious and aware, we must become authentic.  Authenticity includes both positive and negative.”  Teal Swan

“Anytime you’re going to grow, you’re going to lose something. You’re losing what you’re hanging onto to keep safe.  You’re losing habits that you’re comfortable with, you’re losing familiarity.”  Carl Jung

“When we reject our relatedness to the poor, the weak, the simple and the unlovable we define the family of creation over and against God.  In place of God we decide who is worthy of our attention and who can be rejected.  Because of our deep fears, we spend time, attention, and money on preserving our boundaries of privacy and increasing our knowledge and power.  We hermetically seal ourselves off from the undesired ‘other’, the stranger, and in doing so, we seal ourselves off from God.  By rejecting God in the neighbor, we reject the love that can heal us.”  Fr. Ilia Delio

“Too often we underestimate the power of the touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all which have the potential to turn a life around.”  Leo Buscaglia

“If you are willing to look at another person’s behavior toward you as a reflection of the state of their relationship with themselves, rather than a statement of your value as a person, then you will, over a period of time cease to react at all.”  Yogi Bhajan
