Turn your face to the sun and the shadows fall behind you.

Maori proverb

One should not pursue goals that are easily achieved. One must develop an instinct for what one can barely achieve through one’s greatest efforts.

Albert Einstein

No snowflake ever falls in the wrong place.

Zen Proverb

I think it’s good to claim your ethnic identity and your racial identity. But it’s also the source of all the wars and all the violence, all these borders and walls people erect. I’m tired of borders and I’m tired of walls. […] I don’t believe that we’re better than people in India or that we’re different from people in Ethiopia. One billion people go to bed hungry every night. […] There are droughts in Ethiopia, Kenya, and Eastern Africa. […] People are dying every day. And then people talk about being proud to be American, Mexican, or Indian. We have grown beyond that. We are specks from this cosmic ocean, the soul, or whatever. We’re not better than people from Africa or people from Russia. If something happens to the people in India or Africa-and they’re starving to death and dying-then that’s happening to us too.

Gloria E. Anzaldua

If you are depressed you are living in the past.
If you are anxious you are living in the future.
If you are at peace you are living in the present.

Lao Tzu   (via paintyhands, maluna) (via hitrecordjoe) (via 365positivedays)
