Be Brave...

"Be Brave. Without bravery, you will never know the world as richly as it longs to be known. Without bravery, your life will remain small, far smaller than you probably wanted your life to be."

Your Powerful Mind...

"You need to learn how to select your thoughts just the same way you select your clothes every day. This is a power you can cultivate. If you want to control things in your life so bad, work on the mind. That is the only thing you should be trying to control."

Learn To Do the Same...

‘Well, child, you may do whatever you like with your suffering,’ Hanneke said mildly.

‘It belongs to you. But I shall tell you what I do with mine. I grasp it by the small hairs, I cast it to the ground, and I grind it under the heel of my boot. I suggest you learn to do the same.’

Happiness...

"People tend to think that happiness is a stroke of luck, something that will descend like fine weather if you are fortunate. But happiness is the result of personal effort. You fight for it, strive for it, insist upon it, and sometimes even travel around the world looking for it. You have to participate relentlessly."

A True Soul Mate...

"A true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that is holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life."

Your body has a language...

This morning I shared the words, "It is all in your mind. It is all in your heart." Now I believe, I have to add the thought, "And it is all in your body."

Elizabeth Gilbert shared this on her page. And I can only recommend you to watch Amy Cudder's amazing and powerful TED Talk. (Here it is)

Stand tall and hold your head to the sky, open up to tell the world you are here. But most important, tell yourself you are here. The world is waiting to hear you, to see you.

And share this with your friends. Let's get the word out there. There's room and space for the greatness in all of us!

Much Loves,

Angela.

Manifest Your Blessings...

"Happiness is the consequence of personal effort. You fight for it, strive for it, insist upon it, and sometimes even travel around the world looking for it. You have to participate relentlessly in the manifestations of your own blessings.

The Love that Moves...

"God is not merely a blinding vision of glorious light, 

he that He is,  most of all, 

L’amor che move il sole e l’altre stelle. 

The love that moves the sun and other stars."

 

Elizabeth Gilbert

It was Dante Alighieri that once shared the words with the world, "L'amor che move il sole e l'altre stelle." in The Divine Comedy. The last chapter, the last verse.

But it was Elizabeth who shared those words with us in another beautiful way, almost as though reawakening these words and giving them new life again. In Eat Pray Love.

"God is not merely a blinding vision of glorious light, he that He is, most of all, L’amor che move il sole e l’altre stelle. The love that moves the sun and other stars."

Thank you for that Elizabeth. Thank you.

Much Loves, 

Angela

What do I Believe...

"And the question now for me is, What are my choices to be? 

What do I believe that I deserve in this life?"

Elizabeth Gilbert
An excerpt from Eat Pray Love

Ask yourself the question... Answer the question.

The moment you make the choice, the moment you believe... 

That is the moment you allow it to be.
