“Some days she is delicate, vulnerable and soft.Other days she is a lioness; courageous, determined, unafraid. Always she is a goddess,a tenacious warrior’s heart. She is you, him and her.No one is without flaws, yet we are all flawless.Quite the contraction, still, so very true.Never underestimate your worth your beauty or your strength.You are everything you can imagine and so much more.”

“But it seems logical… a man and a woman have to be somewhat equal… as in, one of them can’t always be swooping in and saving the other one. They have to save each other equally. …. I can’t always be Lois Lane,” I insisted. “ I want to be Superman, too.”

“Spirituality is developing much more trust, believe and faith in your own strength than in your own weakness.”

“For the first time in history, middle-class women do not need men in the traditional ways – for safety, for money, for a life. So they’re demanding instead what they always wanted but couldn’t ask for: emotional connection, presence, intimacy. Sex with enough foreplay, enough seduction, enough closeness to please them. Men are baffled not only because the needs they are being asked to fill differ so from what their fathers and grandfathers understood to be their jobs but also because full-fledged intimacy requires strengths and skills they’ve never learned. Moreover… they’re strengths and skills that were once left solely to women: Men didn’t have to develop them. This maturational mismatch may be contributing to distrust among lovers of all ages.”

“On the left side of a strong woman, stands a strong man; he is strengthened by her character.”

“Being single doesn’t mean you’re weak, it means that you’re strong enough to wait for the right person.”

“A quiet conscience makes one strong!”

“Embrace who you are and your divine purpose. Identify the barriers in your life, and develop discipline, courage and the strength to permanently move beyond them, and keep moving forward.”

“The world needs something from you, my friend. It needs the heart that is deep as the ocean and infinite as the outer-space. Can you provide that my friend! Can you make your will so large and your conscience so sharp that in front of which, a thousand Everests and a thousand Kilimanjaros would bow!”

“This year has taught me the simple craft of belief. I believe in the things I’ve nurtured and built this year. Slowly but carefully. Such as understanding, knowledge, passion, strength; the hundreds of songs I’ve written, the 365 poems, the books I’ve read and the miles I’ve run. The resolution to breathe, to meditate, to not harm my mind or body even when I’ve felt like it. ”
