“ There are no mistakes no coincidences. All events are blessings given to us to learn from. ”
People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.
~ Elisabeth Kübler-Ross
The opinion which other people have of you is their problem, not yours.
The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.
Should you shield the canyons from the windstorms you would never see the true beauty of their carvings.
