“Anything that annoys you is for teaching you patience.
Anyone who abandons you is for
teaching you how to stand up
on your own two feet.
Anything that angers you is for teaching you forgiveness and compassion.
Anything that has power over you is for teaching you how to take your power back.
Anything you hate is for
teaching you unconditional love.
Anything you fear is for
teaching you courage to
overcome your fear.
Anything you can’t control is for teaching you how to let go and trust the Universe”
― Jackson Kiddard

“There is always something left to love. And if you ain’t learned that, you ain’t learned nothing.”

“Did you imagine that science was a disinterested pursuit of the truth? Well, you were wrong.”

“Every grain of experience is food for the greedy growing soul of the artist.”
