Acceptance is the road to all change.
You cannot save people from themselves. All you can do is stand firmly in your hopes for them, with compassion.
When the storm rips you to pieces, you get to decide how to put yourself back together again.
You cannot save everyone. Some people are going to destroy themselves no matter how much you try to help them.
It's not wrong to be upset. It's not wrong to cry. It's not wrong to want attention. It's not even wrong to scream or throw a fit. What is wrong is to keep it all inside. What is wrong is to blame and punish yourself for simply being human. What is wrong is to never be heard and to be alone in your pain. Share it. Let it out.
Through spiritual maturity you will see new ways to avoid unnecessary suffering; wiser ways to endure unavoidable hardships with grace, and opportunities to turn your pain into lessons of service and healing for others. Your hard journey has had a great purpose! Your pain was always a part of a plan to open your heart to love. Have faith. A miracle is happening in your life; the miracle of pain is transforming you to your highest self.
The feeling of being 'offended' is a warning indicator that is showing you where to look within yourself for unresolved issues.
Through meditation and gentle cooperation, the body will heal itself with little or no effort.

My self-esteem had been crushed through years of childhood bullying and serious abuses, which would take me decades to overcome.
The realities of the world seldom measure up to the sublime designs of human imagination.
Do not let your ambitions become a sanctuary for your failures.
One column of truth cannot hold an institution of ideas from falling into ignorance. It is wiser that a person of prudence and purpose save his strength for battles that can be won.
One person really can make a difference. Each person is the revolution.
