"You suppose you are the troubleBut you..." - Quote by Rumi
You suppose you are the troubleBut you are the cureYou suppose that you are the lock on the doorBut you are the key that opens itIt's too bad that you want to be someone elseYou don't see your own face, your own beautyYet, no face is more beautiful than yours.

“I'm sad because I want to bow out of my race and leave my beautiful identity? Chinese love Chinese. They love their little slant eyed, pale brown skinned babies. Pakistanis love their culture.Jewish people love their culture. A lot of Catholics want to marry Catholics because the want their religion to stay the same.”

“If you love something - let. If it is yours - it will come back. I love you not because of who you are, but for who I am when I'm with you.”
More on Self Worth
“Some of the most beautiful people in the whole world wake up some days and they don't think that they're pretty.”
“Every time we choose action over ease or labor over rest, we develop an increasing level of self-worth, self-respect and self-confidence. In the final analysis, it is how we feel about ourselves that provides the greatest reward from any activity. It is not what we get that makes us valuable, it is what we become in the process of doing that brings value into our lives. It is activity that converts human dreams into human reality, and that conversion from idea into actuality gives us a personal value that can come from no other source.”
“A wonderful realization will be the day you realize that you are unique in all the world. There is nothing that is an accident. You are a special combination for a purpose -- and don't let them tell you otherwise, even if they tell you that purpose is an illusion. (Live an illusion if you have to). You are that combination so that you can do what is essential for you to do. Don't ever believe that you have nothing to contribute. The world is an incredibly unfulfilled tapestry. And only you can fulfill that tiny space that is yours.”
