“I CAN'T GO ON! I FEEL LIKE NONE OF MY EMOTIONAL WOUNDS CAN HEAL! AS SOON AS IT TRIES TO HEAL, IT SHATTERS AGAIN! I CAN'T HEAL!”

“You are your shining star. Arise and shine your star.”

“We shouldn’t deny ourselves the joyful, peaceful delight in continuing to look up at the glorious, starlit sky. One simply cannot deny its beauty; but I insist that, as you do, remember that you too are a star, a supernova. You emit a magnificent intensity of your own. Not only can you look up, you can look within and be astonished at the glory and splendor of your own being.You shine with your own light. Let it shine! Let it shine! Let it shine!”

“You are the universe - that's why it shines!”

“Sun shines with its light”

“If you want to shine, sit before a lamp; if you want to shine brighter, sit before a fire; but if you want to shine the brightest, sit before a sage.”

“Be like stars; when darkness tries to stop you from shining, shine all the more.”

“When you look at your passions, your interests, and your own self, and see nothing of worth, then know that life will feed this belief back to you. If you can find a way to value yourself without exerting your will or your effort anymore, you will find that you need to do less, to shine more.”

“The sun stands out not because it merely shines, but because it shines on everyone.”

“Stars shine on us, but talent shines in us.”

“We are told to let our light shine, and if it does, we won't need to tell anybody it does. Lighthouses don't fire cannons to call attention to their shining - they just shine.”
