This isn't a quote, but a prose poem (sorry if it don't belong in this discussion, but It's so incredibly beautiful) The Invitation by Oriah Mountain Dreamer It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing. It doesn’t interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love for your dream for the adventure of being alive. It doesn’t interest me what planets are squaring your moon... I want to know if you have touched the centre of your own sorrow if you have been opened by life’s betrayals or have become shrivelled and closed from fear of further pain. I want to know if you can sit with pain mine or your own without moving to hide it or fade it or fix it. I want to know if you can be with joy mine or your own if you can dance with wildness and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes without cautioning us to be careful to be realistic to remember the limitations of being human. It doesn’t interest me if the story you are telling me is true. I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true to yourself. If you can bear the accusation of betrayal and not betray your own soul. If you can be faithless and therefore trustworthy. I want to know if you can see Beauty even when it is not pretty every day. And if you can source your own life from its presence. I want to know if you can live with failure yours and mine and still stand at the edge of the lake and shout to the silver of the full moon, “Yes.” It doesn’t interest me to know where you live or how much money you have. I want to know if you can get up after the night of grief and despair weary and bruised to the bone and do what needs to be done to feed the children. It doesn’t interest me who you know or how you came to be here. I want to know if you will stand in the centre of the fire with me and not shrink back. It doesn’t interest me where or what or with whom you have studied. I want to know what sustains you from the inside when all else falls away. I want to know if you can be alone with yourself and if you truly like the company you keep in the empty moments.

Name: Monika Jauniūtė Age: 17 Gender: Female Location: Šilutė, Lithuania Occupation: Student Marital Status: Single Kids: No Hobbies: personal development, reading, learning languages, nature, animals, playing drums, drawing, astronomy I got into personal development in 2014 when I accidentally read M. Scott Peck's book "The road less traveled". I'm sensitive and open-minded person and it let the book change my point of view (and also to leave mountains of questions). Here I am now, searching for all the answers. Self-developing helps me with my personal projects. I'm seriously thinking about illustrator career and I hope that not only my works can reflect the ideas and problems I'm willing to get noticed, but also myself. I'm seeking to become my personal ideal and feel unconditionally complete. Personal challenges I've overcome: Overcome depression and suicidal thoughts Became a vegan for animals Learned how to say no Stopped denying my sexuality Became able to control my emotions What I'm working on now: Meditating every day Improving my health Being myself Improving musical playing skills Preparing personal art exhibitions Getting good grades and choosing the best university Starting to do dance therapy
