Quote by Ruby Walker

“No matter how good I was, no matter how much I pleaded for it or worked for it, I could never make everyone understand me. If my self-esteem was dependent on other people’s feelings, it would never be under control. I’d be on a ship rocking back and forth between emptiness and salvation, never able to really find my feet.”

“Gdmng. Here is a powerful truth we saw during Diwali: We don’t wait for the government, friends or family to illuminate the entire city. Instead, we lit our corner, our neighbor lit theirs & that’s how the whole city became radiant. Sweetheart, that is the message today: Stop expecting or blaming others for what they have or haven’t done. Focus entirely on what you can do, create & build right now. Darling listen - Your power is not in the grand plan, but in that one small, immediate action: lighting up your corner. Skip the giant leap; just take the next, gentle step, however small it may be. Be all in, sweetheart. Do the best you can do in this moment. Light up your own Diya & watch your world begin to shift. Blessings!”
