A Missing Drop Quotes

“Forgive your own parents for their mistakes. Forgive them for not being able to be the parents you needed. Forgive them for being unconscious, and free your soul from pain. You aren’t your past. You aren’t your childhood. Your childhood is gone, but you have today.”

“Even emotions come from thoughts. Every emotion we experience is
a reaction to a certain thought that forms in our minds. Our bodies can’t
see the difference between the past, present, and future. It reacts to a
thought like we are experiencing it at that moment. That’s why when you
remember the painful event that happened ten years ago, your heart starts
beating fast or you become angry again. The body can’t differentiate
what’s happening right now and what happened ten years ago, it just re-
acts to your thoughts.”

“We human beings are magnets; we attract the quality life we think we deserve. We are as happy as we think we are. Our life is as good as we think it is. The quality of our life depends on the quality of our thoughts. A man is nothing but the recollection of thoughts he has about himself. Our world perception is what we think about the world. Thinking is all that is controlling our lives. Thinking is how we perceive ourselves, others, the whole world, and basically—life.”

“Every single parent is doing the best he or she can. Never judge an angry parent who screams at their child, or judge any parent for any behavior. You don’t know them, you don’t know their story, you don’t know about their silent struggles or childhood traumas, you don’t know
how hard it is for them, you don’t know anything about anyone. you don’t know what you would do if you were in their shoes. Viktor Frankl said, “No man should judge unless he asks himself in absolute honesty whether, in a similar situation, he might not have done the same.” We all do the best we can. It is hands down the hardest never-ending but fulfilling job
on this planet. It isn’t easy to create, shape, and raise another human being when most of us aren’t raised, shaped, or grown up. So, one of the biggest lessons I also learned is to stay in my lane, don’t judge any parent, to never say never, and be compassionate toward myself and others. Of course, if you see a parent spanking a child, you have to stop them, if you know a child is in an unsafe environment, you have to change it and help any child in need, but try as hard as you can not to judge them and just let
go of your thoughts when they arise. At the end of the day, we all do the best we can with the tools we have.”

“Limitations are the illusions of our minds. Every single limit you have is the belief that was created during your childhood or by yourself in adulthood. It was created in your own mind. Marie Forleo said in one of her interviews that our beliefs create our thoughts, and our thoughts create our feelings, and our feelings creates our behavior, and our behavior creates our results. So, to change your life, you have to change your belief, but in order to change your belief, you have to go way back and figure out where it comes from.”

“When one rotten apple is exposed to ones that are not, it will cause
the fruit to ripen faster and eventually rot. This is because as apples ripen,
they give off a hormone in a gaseous form called ethylene which is a
catalyst for ripening fruit. So too, life, when you are surrounded by people
who have a bad influence on you, their negative energy will sooner or later affect you.”

“Being present, to live in a moment, means to be fully aware of your environment, to be fully aware of yourself, to be fully aware of your sur- roundings. Most importantly, to be aware of yourself being in the envi- ronment with your surroundings at the same time.”

“let me explain the meaning of freedom. The meaning that I think is accurate and that is true to myself.

The word freedom in the Georgian language is თავისუფალი (Tavisufali). თავის meaning His own/Her own, უფალი - God. So, I think that to be free means to be the god of yourself. To be connected to the god and his power within your- self. To be free means to be able to have control over yourself. To be fully free is to be able to control your thoughts, then control your words and your actions.”

“All these beliefs around happiness are created and embedded in us from when we were young. Belief is a firmly held opinion. Beliefs are our motives in life, it’s the “why” for all we do. It is quite strong, and false beliefs are extremely dangerous.”

“Most of the problems you have are just thoughts, and thoughts can be changed. A person is nothing but the recollection of thoughts he has about himself. I am what I think I am. You are what you think you are. Your life is what you think it is.”

“Everyone has their own life map. Yes, I think that the larger purpose is the same for everyone, but the road to it is different and unique to each specific individual. Everyone is unique, so is everyone’s life unique. We all have unique actions, so we have unique karma, specific to our life. It’s like in school; you have a test, there are several versions of the test, but the highest score is the same. Imagine life is also a test, but every single person has a specific version, specific to their unique life.”

“What you do in your past affects your present life, and what you do in your present will determine your future. This is the golden rule of life, and it’s called karma.”

“There is an old Georgian tale about the old king who was dying. He had twelve sons, and he called them all to his death bed. He gave them a bundle of twelve arrows to break them together. None of them could break the bundle. Then the king separated the bundle and gave each one an arrow, and as was expected, everyone was able to break it. The old king told them that if they would stay together, the enemy could never defeat them as they couldn’t break the bundle. But if they would separate, the enemy could conquer them easily.

In a relationship, the enemy is any problem the couple has. Unfortunately, what often happens is that when the couple has arguments, they see each other as enemies, instead of seeing the problem itself as an enemy. It’s not “Me versus you,” it’s “Us versus the problem.” We don’t have to be separated when we have issues, we have to unite in order to resolve the issue.”

“The only thing that is given to you that you have control over is yourself. You have one body, one soul, one mind throughout your whole life, and you have to take good care of it in order to fully function. Taking care of these big three: mind, body, and soul is the def- inition of self-care for me.”

“You don’t have to seek for anything or anyone to feel complete, happy, loved, worthy, seen, fulfilled. Everything you are searching for is within yourself, everything is inside of you. Your one and only job is to uncover it and to reconnect to it. No matter what happens in your life, you have the power to choose how you will react to them. Don’t be a volunteer victim, and don’t struggle willingly.”
