“Before you get or achieve what you believe you want, it’s really only an ideal. Everything has positive and negative to it. When you have nothing, there’s nothing to lose… and there’s a freedom in that. When you have more, there is more to lose. Develop security not in things but in yourself, your abilities, resilience, adaptability and determination. This will far greater surpass any comfort achieved in any thing or relationship that exists outside of yourself. “Doe Zantamata

 

 

“It’s a big job, shortening the distance between wanting and believing. The closer they are together, the more likely the reality will be. But don’t force yourself. Forcing causes anxiety and a feeling of being overwhelmed. That energy pushes away good things and sheds doubt on good beliefs. Encourage yourself. Nudge yourself. Stretch just a little further every day. Go at your pace and build your confidence gradually and your positive changes will be solid. Breathe deeply and take those steps. You can do it. ” Doe Zantamata

 

 

“The more confident you are, the less need you’ll feel to defend yourself against criticism. The more secure you are, the less insults will hurt. The more self-worth you have, the less time you’ll waste on those who don’t see much in you. So put your energy into recognizing and developing yourself, your talents, your well-being, and you’ll find that your closest relationships support you, and in turn you support them, too. The good times will be richer, and the hard times will be more manageable. Life will be filled with love. ” Doe Zantamata

 

 

“Forgiving yourself is a gift to the world. If you can look at your own mistakes and see them as mistakes of a good person, you’ll develop compassion. You’ll be able to look at others and see that they are good people who also made mistakes. If you believe you are a bad or stupid person, you won’t believe you can contribute much to the world. Believing you are good and wiser for your mistakes will allow you to contribute wisdom, compassion, and forgiveness in your time here, making it a kinder and more forgiving place…and that’s exactly what the world needs. “Doe Zantamata

 

 

“There’s a big difference between giving someone the benefit of the doubt and turning a blind eye to anything someone does just because you like them a lot. Being generous and understanding are great qualities, just make sure someone doesn’t use them all up on you. Kindness should be appreciated, not taken advantage of. ” Doe Zantamata
