Searching For My Inner Pearl

An oyster shell is a plain looking thing, and the oyster inside doesn't look any better. But once in a while, you can crack open that ugly exterior to find a beautiful and shiny pearl waiting inside. I want to find my inner pearl. I want to crack open my ugly exterior of uncertainty, confusion and worry, to set free my calm, content and beautiful inner self.

And Other Little Gems To Remember.


  1. "Just as there exists in writing a literal truth and a poetic truth, there also exists in a human being, a literal anatomy and a poetic anatomy. One, you can see; one, you cannot. One is made up of bones and teeth and flesh; the other is made of energy and memory and faith. But they are both equally true." excerpt from Eat Pray Love by Elizabeth Gilbert.
  2. "Never give yourself a chance to fall apart because, when you do, it becomes a tendency and it happens over and over again. You must focus on practice staying strong instead." Also from Eat Pray Love.
  3. "Hatred never ceases with hatred, but with love alone is healed. That is the ancient and eternal law." taught the Buddha.
  4. Research: ahimsa, dharma, Buddhism, hinduism, bhagavad gita, and Dalai Lama and Thich Nhat Hanh, and Swami Muktananda
  5. "Better your own dharma—your personal duty—even if unsuccessful, than the dharma of another done perfectly."
