"It is not the fire's place to create nor the tree's place to destroy".
Spoke to me after years of shame for being the hyper, extraverted clown that I am. I always envied the quiet, reserved people and after taking this old proverb to heart, I realized that we all have a place and mine isn't in the back of the room, silent as a lamb. Like it isn't their place to burn like fire, my place is not to bask quietly in the light.
IIN took it further for me, reading stories about people who wished that they were outgoing and willing to have the courage to talk to anyone like me. I realized that I had qualities that many of those quiet individuals often admitted to me wishing they had and I was no longer going to needlessly feel shame for it.
Who has some good quotes to live by?
