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 πŸ’š

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

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.

CΓ©sar ChΓ‘vez

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 πŸ„πŸ‘πŸ¦ƒπŸ“πŸ πŸ–

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

Minimalism

Simplify your life, for in doing so, you make
room for clarity and purpose. By removing
anything unnecessary, you create space for
what truly matters.

Epictetus


The first step in crafting the life you want
is to get rid of everything you don't.

Joshua Becker


1. Work (essentialism)
2. Personal finances (awareness, goals)
3. Time (daily routines)
4. Possessions (declutter)
5. Meals (plan)
6. Screen time (limit)
7. Relationships (evaluate, decrease)
8. Mental habits (journal, exercise)


Essentialism is not about how to get more things
done. It's about how to get the right things done.
It is about making the wisest possible investment
of your time and energy in order to operate
at our highest point of contribution
by doing only what is essential.

Greg McKeown


1. Set upp barriers.
2. 30 day detox.
3. Re-evaluate your priorities.


Digital minimalism is a philosophy
of technology use in which you focus
your online time on a small number of
carefully selected and optimized activites that
strongly support things you value and then
happily miss out on everything else.

Cal Newport


1. Coffee filters
2. Bottled water
3. Kitchen appliances
4. Plates, mugs and silverware
5. Plastic bags
6. Books
7. Stationary goods
8. Cleaning supplies
9. Single use items
10. Home decor

12. Television
13. Technology
14. Pet toys
15. Fashion accessories
16. Jewelry
17. Fast fashion
18. Cocktails/beverages

3. Salon visits.
4. High-end designer clothes.
5. Latest gadgets.
6. Fine dining.
7. Resorts.
8. Car upgrades.
9. Delivery services.
10. Full-priced items.


- Opportunity cost (when you choose something, you give up something else).
- Research. Buy vegan & cruelty-free products. Support ethical companies.
- Wish list.
- Test of time.
- Use what you have.


Every time you spend money you're casting
a vote for the kind of world you want.

Anna LappΓ©


How to prepare
- Study your habits.
- Know your purpose.
- Remove temptations.
- How will you measure progress?

Rules
- Check ethical brands, local businesses, thrift first!
- Investments are OK.

Live simply so that others may simply live.
Mahatma Gandhi


Make ethical choices in what you buy, do and
watch. In a consumer-driven society our
individual choices, used collectively for
the good of animals, can change
the world faster than laws.

Marc Bekoff


Each one of us makes a difference every day
by the choices we make. When billions start
making ethical decisions, we can put
the world on the right track.

Jane Goodall


Truth, like gold, is to be obtained
not by its growth, but by washing away
from it all that is not gold.

Leo Tolstoy


1. Other people's validation.
2. Things that don't align with who I am.
3. Scarcity mindset.
4. Attachment to the past.
5. Fillers of life.

You don't improve your life by doing more.
You improve it by doing less
of what doesn't matter.

Cory Allen


- Get clear about what YOU want and why?
- Narrow your focus.
- Create a strong support system.
- Eliminate and simplify based on your values.
- Let go of control and expectations.


- Reset your shopping habit.
- Simplify. Perfect the basics.
- Practice gratitude.


1. You have a clutter-free home.
2. You are good at prioritizing.
3. You have boundaries.
4. You are not influenced by marketing.
5. You don't compare your life to others.
6. You spend on meaningful purchases.
7. You don't rely on material things for happiness.
8. You feel like you're in control of your life.

Most of what we say and do is not essential.
If you can eliminate it, you'll have more time,
and more tranquility. Ask yourself at every
moment, 'Is this necessary?'

Marcus Aurelius


- Start with your physical space.
- What is your version of a 'simple life'?
- How will you redirect your resources?
- What are the habits and mindset to sustain this lifestyle?
- What can you control vs. let go?

Be a curator of your life. Slowly cut things out
until you're left only with what you love,
with what's necessary, with what
makes you happy.

Leo Bababuta
