Glorious souls

-All things trapped in time are imperfect. You are brilliant, nonetheless. How fortunate for us that we thirst for glorious souls rather than faultless ones we should be parched indeed, and most lonely in our perfect righteousness-Bastard, the fifth God.
-The door-ward does not run to ask each time a decision arises, he is expected to use his judgement.-Bastard, the fifth God.
-Your soul is your own. To make of what you will. We are all of us, our own works, we present our souls to our patrons at the end of our lives as an artisan presents the work of his hands-Ista.
All from Paladin of Souls by Lois McMaster Bujold

Humans
Human beings aren’t cattle. We aren’t supposed to be settled and domesticated. We need to keep things stirred up in order to continue learning and growing. by Steve Pavlina

Deepest fear

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, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you.

We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is 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.
