it’s your own song.

the best thing you can do is to let them carry themselves home. you do it for them and they stay lost; they’ll never know the way.

it doesn’t matter if loving them is the easiest thing in the world for you to do; that’s not the problem. that’s not why they were brought to your door. you let them into your hospitality to show them that they are deserving; that’s it. the rest is up to them. the workout video is not the workout. you cannot heal yourself by healing others. they need their own soil (soul) to grow. as do you. every journey unfolds at its own pace. you cannot hurry them up to see what you see.

the most beautiful person in the world starves for compliments [only so that she can disbelieve them] until she can walk in her own light. the most talented person in the world starves for external validation [only so that he can discount it] until he realizes that he must compose the masterpiece for himself alone, an audience of one.

you have to go around singing your own song.
