Aren't you, like me, hoping that some person, thing, or event will come along to give you that final feeling of inner well-being you desire? Don't you often hope: 'May this book, idea, course, trip, job, country or relationship fulfill my deepest desire.' But as long as you are waiting for that mysterious moment you will go on running helter-skelter, always anxious and restless, always lustful and angry, never fully satisfied. You know that this is the compulsiveness that keeps us going and busy, but at the same time makes us wonder whether we are getting anywhere in the long run. This is the way to spiritual exhaustion and burn-out. This is the way to spiritual death.

Henri J.M. Nouwen

If you want to fly on the sky, you need to leave the earth. If you want to move forward, you need to let go the past that drags you down.

Amit Ray

Adversity, if for no other reason, is of benefit, since it is sure to bring a season of sober reflection. People see clearer at such times. Storms purify the atmosphere.

Henry Ward Beecher

Fashion and music are the same, because music express its period too.

REMEMBER YOUR GREATNESSBefore you were born,And were still too tiny forThe human eye to see,You won the race for lifeFrom among 250 million competitors.And yet,How fast you have forgottenYour strength,When your very existenceIs proof of your greatness.You were born a winner,A warrior,One who defied the oddsBy surviving the most gruesomeBattle of them all.And now that you are a giant,Why do you even doubt victoryAgainst smaller numbers,And wider margins?The only walls that exist,Are those you have placed in your mind.And whatever obstacles you conceive,Exist only because you have forgottenWhat you have alreadyAchieved.Poetry by Suzy Kassem

We should always be clear that animal exploitation is wrong because it involves speciesism. And speciesism is wrong because, like racism, sexism, homophobia, anti-semitism, classism, and all other forms of human discrimination, speciesism involves violence inflicted on members of the moral community where that infliction of violence cannot be morally justified. But that means that those of us who oppose speciesism necessarily oppose discrimination against humans. It makes no sense to say that speciesism is wrong because it is like racism (or any other form of discrimination) but that we do not have a position about racism. We do. We should be opposed to it and we should always be clear about that.

Gary L. Francione

If you are not vegan, please consider going vegan. It’s a matter of nonviolence. Being vegan is your statement that you reject violence to other sentient beings, to yourself, and to the environment, on which all sentient beings depend.

Gary L. Francione

If it is only one thing in life that you have or allowed to discover, then it must be your significance.

You need to discover something that will impact humanity.

Discover what you need to do to make your life have meaning.

Godliness must be presented with its profit and incentives, not only for the good of the nation and society, but of eternal value.

When what you are insulted by meets what you have a strong desire to do, then that would bring you significance.

It is a good thing to live long but it is much more important to make a difference in life by living a life of significance.

A life that is actually lived is one that is with significance.

When you live for the purpose of making a difference for the people, for society, for the things that are beyond you, then significance will not be able to elude you.

When you have discovered your significance, your life will now begin to move towards making a difference.

Be prepared to be on the race to fulfill and to achieve fulfillment.

In the pursuit of wholeness, there will surely be challenges but you need to keep going.

Your purpose is more than just being happy, but it’s about making others to be blessed and happy.

The principle of godliness must be believed and embedded as the culture to live by.

When your life gets to the stage of being mindful and concerned with impacting and blessing lives, then you are pursuing wholeness as an individual.

You have to live intentionally as one with a unique purpose and determination.

After you have made the discovery of your own significance, you would then be able to find the reason to stay alive.

It is only those that live intentionally that can accomplish and come to the significance meant for them.

To live intentionally implies that it is not going to be always convenient but it is what will take you to significance if you do not give up.

A person could waste an important part of his living if he refuses to come into significance; if he refuses to impact lives around, the family and in the community or in the society.

You need to encourage yourself especially if you know you are on the path of significance.

For your life to have meaning is to discover what you are meant to fulfill.

Your anger towards ungodliness, towards injustice and the likes, will create a hunger in you to fulfill a particular purpose meant for you.

Your anger and fury at ungodliness and injustice around you is a license given to you to fulfill a purpose.

Those irritations and uneasiness you are faced with are evidence that you have an assignment to fulfill.

Everyone desires significance but not everyone is ready to go through the process of being ‘pregnant’ with the requirements that would make them to be significant.

Each individual needs to be pregnant with the seed of purpose.

You have to discover what makes you different in your society.

Find out what you need to do to express your importance.

The principles of godliness must be ensured to be received by all in the community, city and the nation, even by the young and old.

What you discover valuable to you can make all the difference in your life.

Finding meaning for life is simply coming into significance because you have been able to accomplish and fulfill your purpose.

When you know that you know to the extent of committing your life to a just cause, then nothing will be able to stop you.

If you have committed all things to impacting a life at a time, or impacting a community or society, then welcome to a life of significance.

Believe that your life is not ordinary and never look down on what you can do to impact a life.

You can be in the vanguard of those that bring a change to the community and to the nation as a whole.
