Sharon Gannon
Be confident in yourself, in your abilities, and in your goals. Then go for it.
Sharon Gannon
Knowing the truth about the hell-realms that animals have to endure, it would be wise of us to do our best now not to plant the karmic seeds that would cause us to be reborn as an animal in one of those hell realms.
Sharon Gannon
I don't miss another opportunity to try to do my best to finish the things I have left undone. I could say: It's my unresolved karma that wakes me up in the morning.
Sharon Gannon
