Lencho Leta Quotes & Sayings

The truth is, we can all be made new through our difficult emotions. We have no need to fear the process. For example, a butterfly becomes strong as she struggles to make her way out of her cocoon; this strength enables her to take flight. If she were to try to live in the cocoon in a suspended state, she would perish. If we tried to preempt her struggle by cutting her out of it, she would never gain the strength to stretch her wings. — Lauren Rosenfeld

To be one of God's lilies means an interior abandonment of the rarest kind. It means that we are to be infinitely passive, and yet infinitely active also; passive as regards self and its workings, active as regards attention and response to God. It is very hard to explain this so as to be understood But it means that we must lay down all the activity of the creature, as such, and must let only the activities of God work in us, and through us, and by us. Self must step aside, to let God work. — Hannah Whitall Smith

When our boundaries are intact, we know that we have separate feelings, thoughts, and realities. Our boundaries allow us to know who we are in relation to others around us. We need our boundaries to get close to others, since otherwise we would be overwhelmed. Boundaries ensure that our behavior is appropriate and keep us from offending others. When we have healthy boundaries, we also know when we are being abused. A person without boundaries will not know when someone is physically, emotionally, or intellectually violating them. — Rokelle Lerner
