Quote by Anne Østby

“The North Star is the brightest star in that constellation. Stella Polaris in Latin. But did you know it was also called Stella Maris in the Middle Ages? Star of the Sea? That's actually one of the names they used to call the Virgin Mary." Lisbeth looked at her with interest. "Really? That's exactly what she said. That little girl. She said her name was Star of the Sea." Maya nodded. "Yes, exactly. 'Our lady, star of the sea' was one of the Holy Virgin's names.”

“When you have passion for something in your life no matter what and how your passion will take you to heights. Whether that is business, job, or entrepreneurship. You need to put your 100% into it and someday it will click. You just need to put in the hard work and effort. And that's isn't easy! Growing up isn't easy, making rightful decisions isn't easy, and learning isn't easy. If everything in this world was easy then there would be no one working hard in this world and if it were easy to dream something and manifest it, in reality, were to be an easy thing then everyone would be a dreamer. But the reality is, nothing in this world is easy you need to put your time, effort, and energy towards it. People will judge you, make statements about you, about things you do, and as to who you are and what you are capable of accomplishing. After all growth, development, and maturities are self-driven personal development, inner calling, and mastery that nobody can gift you, share with you, or buy for you.”

“Once we recognize our inescapable embeddedness in the living, organic ecosystem and our mutual interdependence with all other coexisting species, our sense of separate identity, so strenuously acquired and desperately maintained, recedes more into the background. Instead, the relationships, whether balanced or imbalanced, take the foreground and become the focus of concern. This is the perceptual basis for a new and ancient point of view: it is holistic and inclusive and inevitably accompanied by a sense of wonder and reverence.”
