Know this: Some people will not hear you regardless of how much, how loud, how truthful, how loving, or how profound you speak. Wish them well and let them go.

No response is also a response. And a powerful one. Remember that.

"You can't calm the storm, so stop trying. What you can do is calm yourself. The storm will pass." ~Timber Hawkeye

Consider how hard it is to change yourself and you'll understand what little chance you have in trying to change others.

Life is amazing. Then it's awful. And then it's amazing again. And in-between the amazing and awful it's ordinary and mundane and routine. Breathe in the amazing, hold on through the awful, and relax and exhale during the ordinary.

Sometimes the best thing you can do is not think, not wonder, not imagine, not obsess. Just breathe and have faith that everything will work out for the best.

"When someone is going through a storm your silent presence is worth more than a million empty words." ~Thema Davis

Before you speak let your words pass through three gates: Is it true? Is it necessary? Is it kind?
