Wisdom
Quotes - I lied and said I was busy
“Dear
Child,
Sometimes
on your travel through hell, you meet people that think they are in heaven
because of their cleverness and ability to get away with things. Travel past
them because they don't understand who they have become and never will. These
type of people feel justified in revenge and will never learn mercy or
forgiveness because they live by comparison. They are the people that don't
care about anyone, other than who is making them feel confident. They don’t
understand that their deity is not rejoicing with them because of their
actions, rather he is trying to free them from their insecurities, by softening
their heart. They rather put out your light than find their own. They don't
have the ability to see beyond the false sense of happiness they get from destroying
others. You know what happiness is and it isn’t this. Don’t see their success
as their deliverance. It is a mask of vindication which has no audience, other
than their own kind. They have joined countless others that call themselves
“survivors”. They believe that they are entitled to win because life didn’t go
as planned for them. You are not like them. You were not meant to stay in hell
and follow their belief system. You were bound for greatness. You were born to
help them by leading. Rise up and be the light home. You were given the gift to
see the truth. They will have an army of people that are like them and you are
going to feel alone. However, your family in heaven stands beside you now. They
are your strength and as countless as the stars. It is time to let go!
Love,
Your
Guardian Angel”

“I
lied and said I was busy.
I
was busy;
but
not in a way most people understand.
I
was busy taking deeper breaths.
I
was busy silencing irrational thoughts.
I
was busy calming a racing heart.
I
was busy telling myself I am okay.
Sometimes,
this is my busy -
and
I will not apologize for it.”

“To
know a species, look at its fears. To know yourself, look at your fears. Fear
in itself is not important, but fear stands there and points you in the
direction of things that are important. Don't be afraid of your fears, they're
not there to scare you; they're there to let you know that something is worth
it.”

“I'm
trying to undermine the basis of Christian belief... I'm not in the business of
offending people. I find the books upholding certain values that I think are
important, such as life is immensely valuable and this world is an
extraordinarily beautiful place. We should do what we can to increase the
amount of wisdom in the world.

Catherynne M. Valente, The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her
Own Making
“I
have been finding treasures in places I did not want to search. I have been
hearing wisdom from tongues I did not want to listen. I have been finding
beauty where I did not want to look. And I have learned so much from journeys I
did not want to take. Forgive me, O Gracious One; for I have been closing my
ears and eyes for too long. I have learned that miracles are only called
miracles because they are often witnessed by only those who can can see through
all of life's illusions. I am ready to see what really exists on other side,
what exists behind the blinds, and taste all the ugly fruit instead of all that
looks right, plump and ripe.”
