“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

 

 

“Love means acceptance, kindness, encouragement, and care. With love, doubt disappears, fears fade, and there’s a comfort that develops, which makes even being alone a place of solace. You’ll help to heal and inspire others just by being yourself. You’ll help them discover that it’s possible for them, too. It’s a beautiful gift. “Doe Zantamata

 

 

“Forgiveness requires strength and the ability to see that the true benefit is for your own happiness. If someone stole from you, holding resentment won’t bring your things back, but it will keep anger alive in your heart. If you were cheated on or deceived, holding on to anger won’t make that person any more honest or undo anything that’s been done, but it will keep a place in your heart imprisoned. Allowing past anger to exist in the present will damage or limit new relationships. “Doe Zantamata
