Feminine Evolution 🌸

The place between your comfort zone and
your dream is where your life takes place.

Helen Keller




Don't chase people. Be yourself, do your own
thing and work hard. The right people - the ones
who really belong in your life - will come to you.

Will Smith


Anyone who has never made a mistake
has never tried anything new.

Albert Einstein


Learning is the beginning of wealth.
Searching and learning is where the miracle
process all begins. The great breakthrough
in your life comes when you realize
that you can learn anything you need to learn
to accomplish any goal that you set for yourself.
These means there are no limits
on what you can be, have or do.

Albert Einstein


1. Boundaries.
2. Language.
3. Belief.
4. Stop gossiping.
5. Discipline.
6. Responsibility.
7. Spirituality.
8. Clothing style.
9. Stop giving unwanted advice.
10. Manage my daydreaming.
11. Kindness.
12. Gratitude.
13. Courage.
14. Generosity.
15. Cleanliness.
16. Apologize.
17. Drink water.


Education is not the learning of facts,
but training of the mind to think.

Albert Einstein


A life spent making mistakes is not only
more honorable, but more useful
than a life spent doing nothing.

George Bernard Shaw


We do not learn from experience...
we learn from reflecting on experience.

John Dewey


Try to learn something about everything
and everything about something.

Thomas Huxley


The snake which cannot cast its skin has to die.
As well the minds which are prevented from
changing their opinions; they cease to be mind.

Friedrich Nietzsche


The measure of intelligence
is the ability to change.

Albert Einstein


1. Get a blow-dry.
2. Nurture your network.
3. Location, location, location...
4. Align yourself with what you want to attract.
5. Find a sport that you really enjoy.
6. Be open-minded.
7. Be passionate about something.


1. There will always be people that don't like us and that's OK.
2. If a man ghosts you, he's not even a candidate.
3. Get therapy.
4. Be careful who you trust. Those who speak ill of others in your presence, speak ill of you in your absence.
5. Your look is half of your package, but only half. Your behavior and personality is what defines you. Confidence, elegance, femininity and authenticity is what makes a woman irresistible.
6. Elegance is an important tool to gain the respect of others. It's about self-respect and respect for others.
7. Don't stress about finding a man. Stress is a blocker. Work on yourself.


1. Change the narrative.
2. Embrace discomfort.
3. Don't compare yourself to others.

The only person with whom you have to
compare yourself is you in the past.

Sigmund Freud


Respect life and life will respect you.
Love life and love will shower
blessings on you.

Rajneesh



Once you stop learning you start dying.
Albert Einstein


Loving yourself is part of loving God.
Take care of the temple that houses your soul.
A well maintained body allows
the soul to live it's purpose fully.

Mastin Kipp



Compassion is the signature
of higher consciousness.

Amit Ray


1. Set boundaries and speak up.
2. Become the person you like.
3. Shift your thought patterns.
4. Choose self-care as a lifestyle.
5. Rejection is redirection.
6. There is no such thing as "falling behind".
7. Invest in your everyday life.


 A woman is the full circle.
Within her is the power to create,
nurture and transform.

Modern Warrior

Suffering is suffering, murder is murder
and the more helpless the victim,
the more horrific the crime.

Damien Mander




In a world of boundless opportunities
for amusement, it's detestable that anyone
would choose to get thrills from killing
others who ask for nothing from life
but the chance to remain alive.

Roger Moore





My strength needs no victims.
My strength is my compassion.

Patrik Baboumian



Besides love and sympathy, animals exhibit
other qualities connected with the social
instincts which in us would be called moral.

Charles Darwin


If people were superior to animals,
they would take good care of them.

Winnie the Pooh


In whom there is no sympathy for living beings:
know him as an outcast.

Buddha


We cannot have peace among men whose hearts
delight in killing any living creature. By every
act that glorifies or even tolerates such
moronic delight in killing, we set back
the progress of humanity.

Rachel Carson



At his best, man is the noblest of all animals;
separated from law and justice
he is the worst.

Aristotle

🌍 Know Your Why 💚

He who has a why to live for
can bear almost any how.

Friedrich Nietzsche


Eating for me is how you proclaim your beliefs
three times a day. Three times a day I remind
myself that I value life and I do not want to
cause pain to or kill other living beings.
That is why I eat the way I do.

Nathalie Portman


There comes a time when one must take
a position that is neither safe, nor popular,
but he must take it because conscience
tells him it is right.

Martin Luther King, Jr.


Nothing will benefit human health and
increase the chances for survival of life on Earth
as much as the evolution to a vegan diet.
If the whole world adopts veganism,
it can change the destiny of humankind.

Albert Einstein


Be nice to the environment.
Be nice to animals.
Be nice to people.
If you do that, you will leave
a mark on the world.

Enock Maregesi


Once I learned about how animals are treated
in our industrial food system, I didn't
want any part of it.

Billie Eilish


I show my love for animals by not eating them
or participating in any business that profits
directly from their exploitation.

Mayim Bialik



We change the world not by what we say or do
but as a consequence of what we have become.

David R. Hawkins


Be the change you want to see in the world.
Mahatma Gandhi


My own view is that being vegan is not an end
 in itself, but a means towards reducing both
human and animal suffering and leaving
a habitable planet to future generations.

Peter Singer


If people understood that for two minutes
of pleasure, there is a lifetime of suffering.

Khaled bin Alwaleed


If you don't have it in your heart to help animals,
then just leave them alone and do no harm.

Katie Cleary


This is why I am vegan;
I don't support the barbaric treatment
and slaughtering of millions of animals.
I don't support this industry.

Lewis Hamilton


When people ask me why I don't eat animal
products I say, 'Because they are unhealthy
and they are the product of a violent and
inhumane industry.'

Casey Affleck


I feel great after every meal, and I know that
no animals are getting hurt in the process.

Travis Barker


If you look at the climate crisis or the violence 
of our food system and feel helpless, thinking 
'I wish there was something I could do'
- you can. Right now.

Joaquin Phoenix


Being vegan for me is about trying to live a life
where I'm not contributing to the cruelty
in the world.

Jessica Chastain

Emotional Intelligence 🪷

All that we are is the result
of what we have thought.

Buddha


Better keep yourself clean and bright:
you are the window through which
you must see the world.

George Bernard Shaw


Most people are other people. Their thoughts
are someone else's opinions, their lives
a mimicry, their passions a quotation.

Oscar Wilde


The body benefits from movement,
and the mind benefits from stillness.

Sakyong Mipham


Instinct guides the animal better than the man.
In the animal it is pure, in man it is led astray
by his reason and intelligence.

Denis Diderot


If a man thinks badly of you then he is worse
than you, those who are better than you
just don't care about you.

Nelson Mandela

Brian Tracy


1. Balance your day.
2. Find mindful practices that work for you.
3. Progress over perfection.
4. Never underestimate five minutes.
5. Ask yourself: Is this something I can control?

Happiness and freedom begin with a clear
understanding of one principle.
Some things are within your control.
And some things are not.

Epictetus


Freedom is what you do
with what's been done to you.

Jean-Paul Sartre

- Don't tell. Journal.
- Don't bring your emotions to work.
- Don't try to bring other people down to your emotional level.

- Acknowledge your physical reactions to your feelings.
- Calm yourself down. Take deep breaths. Relax.
- Avoid being sarcastic.
- Create an emotional strategy before things happen.
- Take care of your health. Eat well, get enough sleep, exercise regularly.
- Avoid toxic situations, people and places.

Let the refining and improving of your
own life keep you so busy that you have
little time to criticize others.

H. Jackson Brown, Jr.


A burning passion coupled with absolute
detachment is the key to all success.

Mahatma Gandhi


Emotional triggers
- How do you want people to experience you?
- Decide ahead of time how you're going to act in difficult situations.
- Set a time limit. Have an exit strategy. End the conversation first.

The mind unconsciously loves problems
because they give an identity of sorts.
This is normal, and it is insane.

Eckhart Tolle


Courage is grace under pressure.
Ernest Hemingway


Never argue with stupid people.
They will drag you down to their level
and then beat you with experience.

information in a way that confirms

even from those who talk badly.

Plutarch


If anyone can show me, and prove to me,
that I am wrong in thought or deed,
I will gladly change. I seek the truth,
which never yet hurt anybody. It is only
persistence in self-delusion and ignorance
which does harm.

Marcus Aurelius


The superior person is calm and composed;
the lesser person is continuously
worried and distressed.

Confucius


Kindness is like snow - It beautifies
everything it covers.

Khalil Gibran


Those who are serious in ridiculous matters
will be ridiculous in serious matters.

stronger and keener after recreation.

Animals in Entertainment

Animals are not ours to eat, wear,
experiment on, use for entertainment
or for any exploitative purpose.

Sharon Gannon


Tradition will accustom people to any atrocity.
George Bernard Shaw


God loved the birds and invented trees.
Man loved the birds and invented cages.

Jacques Deval


It's clear to anyone with a brain and an ounce
of compassion that marine parks are nothing
more than concrete prisons.

Roger Moore


A good heart will refuse the happiness
built on the misfortune of others.

Saadie


What an amount of suffering and cruel
punishment the poor creatures have to
endure in order to give a few moments
of pleasure to men devoid of thought.

Albert Schweitzer



We know we cannot be kind to animals
until we stop exploiting them -
exploiting animals in the name of science,
exploiting animals in the name of sport,
exploiting animals in the name of fashion,
and yes, exploiting animals in the name of food.

César Chávez

What's Wrong with Eggs? 🐣

Being vegetarian here also means that we do not
consume dairy and egg products, because they
are products of the meat industry. If we stop
consuming, they will stop producing. Only
collective awakening can create enough
determination for action.

Thich Nhat Hanh


We're exploiting female bodies and abusing the
magic of female animals to create eggs and milk.

Nathalie Portman



Our prime purpose in this life is to help
others. And if you can't help them,
at least don't hurt them.

Dalai Lama


The animals of the world exist for their own
reasons. They were not made for humans
any more than black people were made
for white, or women created for men.

Alice Walker


We've objectified certain animals so much that
we refer to them as 'livestock'. 'Stock' that just
so happens to be alive. An inconvenience
that they were even alive to begin with.

Ed Winters


God's Creatures 🐄🐑🦃🐓🐠🐖

Earth was created for all of us, not some of us.
Anthony Douglas Williams


It may be suggested by some books that it is not
a sin to kill an animal, but it is written in our
own hearts - more clearly than in any book -
that we should take pity on animals
in the same way as we do on humans.

Leo Tolstoy


For if animals are God's creatures, we have no
absolute rights over them, only the duty to look
after them as God would look after them.
To stand with Jesus is to reject our view of
ourselves as gods and lords of creation. We are
to honor life for the sake of the Lord of the life.

Andrew Linzey


We have enslaved the rest of the animal creation,
and have treated our distant cousins in fur
and feathers so badly that beyond doubt,
if they were able to formulate a religion,
they would depict the Devil in human form.

William Ralph Inge


The Gods created certain kinds of beings
to replenish our bodies; they are the trees
and the plants and the seeds.

Plato


Why should man expect his prayer for mercy
to be heard by what is above him when he
shows no mercy to those under his power?

Pierre Troubetzkoy


Where love is, there God is also.
Mahatma Gandhi


There is no religion without love, and people may
talk as much as they like about their religion,
but if it does not teach them to be kind
to man and animals, it is all a sham.

Anna Sewell


I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians.
Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.

Mahatma Gandhi


The basis of all animal rights should be
the Golden Rule: we should treat them as we
would wish them to treat us, were any
other species in our dominant position.

Christine Stevens


It ill becomes us to invoke in our daily prayers
the blessing of God, the Compassionate,
if we in turn will not practice elemantary
compassion toward our fellow creatures.

Mahatma Gandhi


No God would be a slave master,
a torturer and a killer of his animals, his babies.
If he was, then he would not be God.
He would be the Devil.

Gary Yourofsky


Those who are merciful will be shown mercy
by the Most Merciful. Be merciful to those
on the earth and the One in the heavens
will have mercy on you.

Mishkat al-Masabih: Book 6, Chapter 7, 8:178


My religion is based on truth and non-violence.
Truth is my God. Non-violence is
the means of realising him.

Mahatma Gandhi


Man worships an invisible God
and destroys a visible Nature.
Unaware that this Nature he's destroying
is this God he's worshiping.

Hubert Reeves



Be kind to all creatures.
This is the true religion.

Buddha

The Power of Sanctuary

The day the power of love
overrules the love of power,
the world will know peace.

Mahatma Gandhi


If we could live happy and healthy lives
without harming others, why wouldn't we?

Pam Ahern


Kindness, I discovered, is everything in life.
Isaac Bashevis Singer


Our fate is inextricably linked to the health and
resilience of the earth and our fellow earthlings,
and when these are harmed and made to suffer,
so are we.

Gene Baur


Power is actualized only where word
and deed have not parted company,
where words are not empty and deeds
not brutal, where words are not used
to veil intentions but to disclose realities,
and deeds are not used to violate and
destroy but to establish relations
and create new realities.

Hannah Arendt



Man can no longer live for himself alone.
We must realize that all life is valuable
and that we are united to all life.

Albert Schweitzer


We can judge the heart of a man
by his treatment of animals.

Immanuel Kant


In compassion lies the world's true strength.
Buddha



I believe that the reson of life is for
each of us simply to grow in love.

Leo Tolstoy


A truth cannot be reached in scripture,
a truth has to be lived in
the innermost temple of your being.

Osho



Just how destructive does a culinary preference
have to be before we decide to eat something else?
If contributing to the suffering of billions of
animals that live miserable lives and, quite often,
die in horrific ways isn't motivating,
what would be?

If being the number one contributor to the most
serious threat facing the planet isn't enough,
what is? And if you are tempted to put off
these questions of your conscience,
to say not now, then when?

Jonathan Safran Foer


The heart of a good man is the sanctuary
of God in this world.

Suzanne Curchod


The animals of the world exist
for their own reasons.
They were not made for humans
any more than black people
were made for white,
or women created for men.

Alice Walker


All were happy - birds, insects and children.
But grown-up people never left off cheating and
tormenting themselves and one another. It was
not this spring morning which they considered
sacred and important, not the beauty of God's
world, given to all creatures to enjoy -
a beauty which inclines the heart to peace,
to harmony and to love. No, what they
considered sacred were their own devices
for wielding power over each other.


Leo Tolstoy



Remember, the entrance door
to the sanctuary is inside you.

Rumi
