Just Be

"You were born with the right to be happy. You were born with the right to love, to enjoy and to share your love. You are alive, so take your life and enjoy it. Don't resist life passing through you, because that is God passing through you. Just your existence proves the existence of life and energy.

We don't need to know or prove anything. Just to be, to take a risk and enjoy your life, is all that matters. Say no when you want to say no, and yes when you want to say yes. You have the righ to be you. You can only be you when you do your best. When you don't do your best you are denying yourself the right to be you. That's the seed that you should really nurture in your mind. You don't need knowledge or great philosophical concepts. You don't need acceptance of others. You express your own divinity by being alive and by loving yourself and others."

-Don Miguel Ruiz, The Four Agreements
