To aspire to be a chingona!...You are saying, 'This is my camino, this is my path and I'm gonna follow it, regardless of what culture says.' I don't think the church likes chingonas. I don't think the state likes chingonas.! And fathers definitely do not like chingonas. And boyfriends don't like chingonas. But, you know, I remain optimistic. I will meet a man who likes a chingona, one day. One day, my chingon will come.” ThinkingKnowsMenFeelsLongStatesCultureFatherChurchPathOne DayLong TimeLikesOptimisticAspireAlright Author:Sandra Cisneros
“Nobody likes to let go of the ego- it is so precious to everyone. However, once you have attained a state of egolessness, the world won't disappear, as you may think it will. The world will continue, but a change takes place within you. Something is uncovered. You start seeing everything with the wonder and innocence of a child.” ThinkingWorldMayChildrenStatesWonderSeeingLetting GoEgoInsightDisappearLikesInnocenceWithin You Book:Awaken Children Vol. 8 Source: Awaken Children Vol. 8
