Trang 1Quotes for Transformation
Here are my favorite quotes These insights can inspire us to awaken and see the world differently, with new possibilities open to us
“Take time to work - it is the price of success
Take time to think - it is the source of power
Take time to play - it is the secret of perpetual youth
Take time to read - it is the fountain of wisdom
Take time to be friendly - it is the road to happiness
Take time to love and be loved - it is the nourishment of the soul
Take time to share - it is too short a life to be selfish
Take time to laugh - it is the music of the heart
Take time to dream - it is hitching your wagon to a star."

Trang 5“We fear that we are inadequate, but our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure
It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us
We ask ourselves: "Who am Ito be brilliant, gorgeous, talented,
fabulous?"
Actually, who are you not to be these things?
You are a child of God
Your playing small doesn't serve the wưorid
There is nothing enlightening about shrinking so that other people
around you won't feel insecure
We are all meant to shine as children do
We are born to manifest the giory of God that is within us
It ig not just in some of us; i is in everyone
And as we let our light shine, we unconsciously give other people
permission to do the same
AS we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically
releases others.”
