nurturing

Nourishing yourself in a way that helps you blossom in the direction you want to go is attainable, and you are worth the effort.

The most beautiful, amazing and inevitable fact about life- Everything has a natural healing process.

Sometimes people appear in your life unexpectedly like a gift from the Universe. You didn__ even know you needed them, or that you had called out silently to them. They appear when you needed them most, to lift you, educate you, wake you up, or shine a light on your path. They sprout the seed that was in you, and patiently watch that seed emerge from the soil. Sometimes it wears them out to water and fertilize you every single day as you grow. This is a delicate time, you as the plant, and they as the nurturer. You as the plant need them for your growth, and they as your nurturer, have to have the energy to believe in your growth. Then, one day you blossom, and awaken to the beauty around you and rejoice. The only thing you ask from them anymore, is to celebrate the flower they have brought to life, and to accept the riches you now will give to them. -Riitta Klint

Our talents are living things, we give birth to them, nourish them till they grow and become immortal.

The day you find out who you are is when you look back and realize that it was never the words, rather your actions that defined you.

Today__ ashes are tomorrow__ soil.

It is a fool of a shepherd who culls his dogs.

Death ends a life, not a relationship. All the love you created is still there. All the memories are still there. You live on- in the hearts of everyone you have touched and nurtured while you were here.

When you assess your own life, consider it with the eye of a gardener. Underneath the surface lies rich, fertile soil waiting to nurture the seeds you sow. Even more than you can imagine will grow there if given a chance.

After forty years of working on prevention of a wide range of common and costly psychological and behavioral problems, I am convinced we have the knowledge to achieve a healthier, happier, and more prosperous society than has ever been seen in human history.

Just as we have created a society in which it would be unthinkable to light up a cigarette in the Kennedy Center lobby, we can create a society where it is unthinkable that a child suffers abuse, fails in school, becomes delinquent, or faces teasing and bullying.

Every child comes into this world as a gift to humanity. It is up to us, as adults, to see that they are properly taken care of and given all the love and attention they deserve. If we did so, I have no doubt our world would be drastically different and much more humane.

It makes no sense rushing to become a parent if you are not going to be a good one. No child deserves anything less than unconditional love and positive guidance. Our nation and the world as a whole desperately need some generations of well nurtured children.

If we fail to instill a fixed sense of confidence in our children, we will raise handicapped children who have no handicap other than the conviction that they believe they do.

Personal discipline is a most powerful character quality and one worthy of dedicating your life to nurturing.

The goal is to learn to be nurturing with yourself so you can feel free.

The eyes of love have 20/20 vision when focused on another, and become entirely blind when focused on ourselves.

Nearly all problems of human behavior stem from our failure to ensure that people live in environments that nurture their well-being.
