While it is natural to feel some degree of
need for the approval of others, be careful.
If you find yourself unwilling to
take actions that others disapprove of,
you have lost control of your own life
and have given your destiny to others.
An excessive need-for-approval
is a sign of low self-esteem,
and in severe cases, a condition termed co-dependency.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
Make your important choices in life

We need less posturing and more genuine charisma.
Charisma was originally a religious term,
meaning "of the spirit" or "inspired."
It's about letting God's light shine through us.
It's about a sparkle in people that money can't buy.

Quite the contrary, it's when we truly become bright.
We're letting our own light shine.
- Marianne Williamson
Through Qigong, one learns to quiet the mind
and allow communion with the One.

The One is everything, and everything is the One.
Each of us is the One, and the One is inside each of us.

the tiniest bit of infinity is still infinite.

you start becoming drunk with the divine.
That is what is called ecstasy.

where there is sadness, joy.
