Life Lessons Quote by Iimani David — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Thirty-nine years of my life had passed before I understood that clouds were not my enemy; that they were beautiful, and that I needed them. I suppose this, for me, marked the beginning of wisdom. Life is short.”

“Your spirit lives on in your work. YOU decide what manner of work that will be.”

“Think about it. Every time you fail at a task you've actually learned something new. The question is "what?”

“Love changes things; hope allows us to endure until the change arrives.”

“Evaluate those around you. If they are not helping you grow, they are denying you an opportunity to evolve.”

“The person who hurt you--who raped you or killed your family--is also here. If you are still angry at that person, if you haven't been able to forgive, you are chained to him. Everyone could feel the emotional truth of that: When someone offends you and you haven't let go, every time you see him, you grow breathless or your heart skips a beat. If the trauma was really severe, you dream of revenge. Above you, is the Mountain of Peace and Prosperity where we all want to go. But when you try to climb that hill, the person you haven't forgiven weighs you down. It's a personal choice whether or not to let go. No one can tell you how long to mourn a death or rage over a rape. But you can't move forward until you break that chain.”

“If you ever get lost, you can get your bearings and find your way home. Just remember to find Buffalo Butte and head toward that.”

“Rise, and soar above those who keep trying to pull you down. Let them realize that you are God’s child.”

“You gain much more from your enemies than friends.”
