the potential for mountain-moving faith,
but we must take the steps necessary to activate it.

Zen says that if you drop knowledge -
and within knowledge everything is included;
your name, your identity, everything,
because this has been given to you by others -
if you drop all that has been given by others,
you will have a totally different quality to your being: innocence.
This will be a crucifixion of the persona, the personality,
and there will be a resurrection of your innocence.
You will become a child again, reborn.
- Osho
Consider a parent who says,
"Look at the sacrifices I'm making so you can have a better life."

is the noble way to live.

If you doubt the virtue in self-honor,
remember what the flight attendant says,
"Put your own oxygen mask on first."
You are of no use to anyone else
if you have not taken care of your own needs first -
this includes your own emotional,
as well as physical, well-being.
In addition, your greatest value to your children,
your family, your friends, and your community
is the example you set, leading a great life that inspires
those around you to emulate your being.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
People will, in a great degree,

"Tell me whom you live with,
and I will tell you who you are.
- Lord Chesterfield
Guilt says I've done something wrong;
... shame says there is something wrong with me.
Guilt says I've made a mistake;

... shame says I am no good.
- John Bradshaw
