Self Reflections Quotes

“Self-transformation commences with a period of self-questioning. Questions lead to more questions, bewilderment leads to new discoveries, and growing personal awareness leads to transformation in how a person lives. Purposeful modification of the self only commences with revising our mind’s internal functions. Revamped internal functions eventually alter how we view our external environment.”

“Herein lies the beauty of the flaw: that a shortcoming is a spiritual sign that says "Look! There is a perfect opportunity right here to grow and become better!"

And so we have it that there are a great number of individuals who are missing out on great chances to improve themselves and to also believe in others.”

He gave me a physique by which I would be so easily and so quickly judged, then gave me a mind by which I would so deeply magnetize, He put within me a heart with small, fast wings that I can hardly, barely handle, and then gave me a voice that hides behind everything in whispers. Oh, and also put a pen in my hand which writes me into madness! How can anyone possibly understand me? But I don't think God cared about that thought, when He made me! How ridiculously unfair!”

“I'm still a prisoner of my own contradictions, pulling my inner self towards two different directions and looking out the window of a house with no doors. I cannot stop the rain or the terrifying storm, the only path for my boat is to sail until it hits the shore or wrecks, for I fear the storm more than the aftermath but I will not willingly move away from it.”
― Kiady Diaz

“I saw that man again today.
He is looking even worse I'd say.
Flabby jowls and greying hair.
Despite myself I had to stare.
Who is this man who let youth fly pass.
The truth is there in the looking glass.
