"You know, an idea is just an idea... I know a lot of people who have way better ideas than I do, much more frequently than I do, that just can't sit down and actually do it. Ideas are... a little overrated really, it's the work behind the idea that's the important thing."

**You can't give others more than you give yourself
And by giving I mean giving time, money, help or any type of effort from your part.
If you feel obligated to give or if you are giving from a place of lack, it is better not to give at all. If you give, because you think that you would be a bad person, if you didn't, then do not give at all. If you feel that by giving, you are stealing from yourself, then do not give at all. The truth is that you can't give what you, yourself, do not have and by giving you realize how much you have been given.
On a spiritual level giving and receiving are one in truth. However, sometimes in our daily lives, we have to balance the giving and receiving so we won't feel either used or separate from others. If you feel obligated to give, you will encounter people who will feel comfortable receiving from you and they won't respect or appreciate your time and your non-existent boundaries whatsoever.
Therefore, no matter what any religion or teacher says, your highest authority lies within you and if you feel depleted it is probably because you are and you have to learn how to take care of yourself first, before you are able to give from a place of abundance and without expecting anything in return. Because that is the true meaning of a gift - you give because you have enough and it brings you joy to share with the world what you know you have an abundance of.

You can try to dirty my name, but I'll wear your hate like war paint.

"Leadership's not a title. It's a behavior. Live it."
-Robin Sharma
Being an outsider to some extent, someone who does not "fit in" with others or is rejected by them for whatever reason, makes life difficult, but it also places you at an advantage as far as enlightenment is concerned. It takes you out of unconsciousness almost by force.
-Eckhart Tolle | Est. 2014 | Valourine
Be prepared to meet a new version of yourself every time you shed another layer of old trauma/conditioning/hurt.
As you let go, your likes, dislikes, perspectives and interests will shift. Transformation is natural as you travel the road to greater self-awareness, happiness and peace.
