In the words of Vincent Van Gogh, “Love many things, for therein lies the true strength, and whoever loves much performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is done well.”

Love many things, but focus on where you are going. Don’t waste your time. You can do anything. Nothing is impossible for you. Just focus on what you can do. Focus on what you know, not what you don’t know. Because success comes from doing what you know. Failure comes from trying to do what you do not know. It is okay to try things.

Whatever you do, no matter how difficult it may be, don’t give up. Do not give too soon. Many people are not successful because they gave up too soon. Do your work with all you have left in your tank. Do your work with love, with compassion, with empathy, with all your mind, with courage. Don’t settle for less. Do not do what is easy. Do what is hard. You do not grow by doing easy things. You grow by doing hard things.

Hard things strengthen your muscles.

Easy things weaken your muscles.

If you want to grow, if you want to challenge yourself, you must stretch yourself. You must grow yourself. You must not stuck yourself in a rut. Because there is no growth in a rut. Live your life. But not in a rut. You are not here to live in a rut. If you are in one right now, it is time to leave. Leave!

We need someone who embraces us for our strengths and struggles

“When we’re looking for compassion, we need someone who is deeply rooted, able to bend, and, most of all, we need someone who embraces us for our strengths and struggles. We need to honor our struggles by sharing it with someone who has earned the right to hear it. When we’re looking for compassion, it’s about connecting with the right person at the right time and the right issue.”- The Gifts of Imperfection: Let Go of Who You Think You’re Supposed to Be and Embrace Who You Are

The energy that exists between people

“I define connection as the energy that exists between people when they feel seen, heard, and valued; when they can give and receive without judgment; and when they derive sustenance and strength from the relationship.”- The Gifts of Imperfection: Let Go of Who You Think You’re Supposed to Be Embrace Who You Are

We can only love others as much as we love ourselves

“We cultivate love when we allow our most vulnerable and powerful selves to be deeply seen and known, and when we honor the spiritual connection that grows from that offering with trust, respect, kindness, and affection. Love is not something we give or get; it is something that we nurture and grow, a connection that can only be cultivated between two people when it exists within each one of them- we can only love others as much as we love ourselves.”- The Gifts of Imperfection: Let Go of Who You Think You’re Supposed to Be Embrace Who You Are
