“I am Me. In all the world, there is no one else exactly like me. Everything that comes out of me is authentically mine, because I alone chose it — I own everything about me: my body, my feelings, my mouth, my voice, all my actions, whether they be to others or myself. I own my fantasies, my dreams, my hopes, my fears. I own my triumphs and successes, all my failures and mistakes. Because I own all of me, I can become intimately acquainted with me. By so doing, I can love me and be friendly with all my parts. I know there are aspects about myself that puzzle me, and other aspects that I do not know — but as long as I am friendly and loving to myself, I can courageously and hopefully look for solutions to the puzzles and ways to find out more about me. However I look and sound, whatever I say and do, and whatever I think and feel at a given moment in time is authentically me. If later some parts of how I looked, sounded, thought, and felt turn out to be unfitting, I can discard that which is unfitting, keep the rest, and invent something new for that which I discarded. I can see, hear, feel, think, say, and do. I have the tools to survive, to be close to others, to be productive, and to make sense and order out of the world of people and things outside of me. I own me, and therefore, I can engineer me. I am me, and I am Okay.”
—Virginia Satir (via bitchville) (via quote-book) (via shelbyandrews)
“We have all known two kinds of teachers. Those that teach from the mind and those that teach from the heart; the teacher who teaches from the mind teaches, the one who teaches from the heart touches, and we are transformed forever ……..”
—Slim Chandra-Shekar
“
You are not there. Somewhere in the future, suffering for something that hasn’t happened yet. You are not there, in a place where all your worries manifest.
You are not there. Somewhere in the past, reliving your old mistakes and regrets. You are not there, in a place where memories resurrect.
You are here. Right here.
” —I Wrote This For You (via thresca)
“Often people attempt to live their lives backwards; they try to have more things, or more money, in order to do more of what they want, so they will be happier. The way it actually works is the reverse. You must first be who you really are, then do what you need to do, in order to have what you want.”
—Margaret Young (via justbesplendid)
“If you search the world for happiness, you may find it in the end, for the world is round and will lead you back to your door.”
—Robert Brault, (via justbesplendid)
“Everything you can imagine is real.”

Zopa - Loans from people not banks →
zopa.com
Zopa is the world’s first social finance company. In 2005 we pioneered a way for people to lend and borrow directly with each other online as part of our continuing mission to give people around the world the power to help themselves financially at the same time that they help others.
Since then, we’ve expanded across the world. In each country Zopa is a little different, but it’s always the same big idea.
Why not see for yourself?
“Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.”
—Carl Sagan
