2 quotes about 'SELF'
Transformation
The transformation of the world is brought about by the transformation of oneself, because the self is the product and a part of the total process of human existence.
To transform oneself, self-knowledge is essential, without knowing yourself there cannot be transformation.
-- J. Krishnamurti
Greatest Unknown
Sometimes we as humans give up our sense of reasoning for a sense of belonging. Often times causing our mind to shuttle between what is wrong and right. We change who we are; our thoughts, our beliefs and even ourselves. Then there comes a night when the changes go full circle and we feel like we woke up from a dream, not knowing why this has all gone around. Of the many unknowns known to us, the greatest unknown maybe our knowledge of ourselves.

just 'words'..
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world. There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us, it’s in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
Nelson Mandela
