lit

We can allow ourselves to pass through the darkest valley without losing our light. One candle can lit millions of other candles, which are willing to receive the light.

A friend is the wax that keeps the flame lit, an enemy is the wind that blows it out.

Modern architecture predominately specializes in designing what are essentially dimly lit caves.

Bodies have their own light which they consume to live: they burn, they are not lit from the outside.

Are we not acceptable, moon? Are we not lovely sitting together here, I in my satin; he in black and white?

Don__ try to present your art by making other people read or hear or see or touch it; make them feel it. Wear your art like your heart on your sleeve and keep it alive by making people feel a little better. Feel a little lighter. Create art in order for yourself to become yourselfand let your very existence be your song, your poem, your story.Let your very identity be your book.Let the way people say your name sound like the sweetest melody.

As girls, we will do anything for the person whom we love. We will scale buildings in the rain or run through fire if it means saving our love__ life. There is absolutely nothing more life altering that the fire burning inside of our souls for the one we want most_

How you spend your time when you are not working or studying says everything about who you are and what is motivating your life.

For most of us free-thinking, wild hearts, our relationship with God or the Universe will go through peaks and valleys _ transforming into new concepts and beliefs, completely disappearing, at times, only then to instantly explode back into existence by something even as small as a sunset!

Finding yourself and creating a life that feels authentic and safe is the hardest, most important work that we will ever do and for girls, especially young girls, there is no one more equipped to do this work.

You battled monsters. You sweat and cried your way to this one prolific moment where you finally realize that those dark days and sleepless nights were pre-requisites to your becoming.

I never want a girl to lose all hope that her life can__ completely turn around, even if she feels that she is at the edge, standing on one foot, and ready to say goodbye.

Sometimes you have to let go a little bit and travel the path of least resistance but this doesn__ mean that you quit when things get tough, as you are working towards a goal! It just means that you may only be able to see a rough draft of your final destination, right now, and that it__ safe to explore along the way.

Although many things may still need to happen before you identify what your exact work will be, I know that every single person whom you__e meeting and every experience that you__e having is necessary to you discovering your purpose. They are points on a map leading you to the moment where a match will finally be lit and you will be able to see through the darkness.

Remember, nothing happens before it__ supposed to, so trust that, as you are striving for authenticity and personal excellence, the recognition of your life__ purpose is nearing closer.

We live in a world where there is such a clear definition of what a girl should be that it takes almost no effort at all to completely hate ourselves.

Recognize that you have been chosen to be alive, right now, at this exact moment in time and know that none of that is random. There is something about you, your past or your future that is required at this exact moment in history. We need to know who you are and what you have been through.

I think it all basically breaks down to something like this: You have to look and feel great first. If you eat well, exercise and get enough sleep, you will have ample energy and the proper self-confidence to create and produce beyond your wildest dreams! Looking great and radiating positive energy, while presenting your highest quality work, is what will always make you the most valuable and only logical choice in whatever it is that you reach for.
