"He who cannot obey himself will be commanded. That is the nature of living creatures." - Friedrich Nietzsche

The intimacy of someone waiting for you the whole day just to have a little conversation with you at the end of the day.

When you bounce back this time, show no mercy.

(2) Jesus gives us freedom, but He does not abandon us. He corrects us when we fall, but He never ceases to love us. If we wish Him to, He will raise us up from the ground, so that we can continue our journey joyfully.

What people say just before overpricing their service

You will stop feeling anxious once you stop breaking the promises you made to yourself.

Don’t feel qualified? Nobody does. You can only be qualified to do that which you have already accomplished or trained for. Anything new is accomplished by unqualified people.

Christian #Hope is greater than any situation in life, because hope has its foundation in God, not in other people. What seems impossible for human beings is possible for God (Mt 19:26).
