O maior conquistador não é aquele que conquista grandes coisas, mas sim o que conquista as pequenas e as torna grandes!

She overcame everything that was meant to destroy her.
SYLVESTER MCNUTT III
She is a beautiful piece of broken pottery, put back together by her own hands. And a critical world judges her cracks while missing the beauty of how she made herself whole again.
She is kind but strong, and that is where so many mistake her. They interpret her kindness for weakness and force her to show her strength.
Sometimes an angel, sometimes a hell raiser, always a strong woman.
She is full of wounds riddled with scars, but she is still standing and she is still beautiful.
And one day she discovered that she was fierce, and strong, and full of fire, and that not even she could hold herself back because her passion burned brighter than her fears.
A beautiful woman delights the eye; a wise woman, the understanding; a pure one, the soul. .
Pain shapes a woman into a warrior.
Alone, by herself she built the kingdom that she wanted.
The most dangerous woman of all is the one who refuses to rely on your
sword to save her because she carries her own.
She’s proof that you can walk through hell and still be an angel.
She may be broken for a while, but that’s ok. She’s working on her, cause
she’s not one to leave a mess lying around.
She would rather walk alone in darkness than follow anyone else’s shadow.

Every one of us casts a shadow.
There hangs about us, a sort of a strange, indefinable something, which we call personal influence--that has its effect on every other life on which it falls. It goes with us wherever we go. It is not something we can have when we want to have it--and then lay aside when we will, as we lay aside a garment. It is something that always pours out from our lives . . . as light from a lamp, as heat from flame, as perfume from a flower.
The ministry of personal influence is something very wonderful. Without being conscious of it, we are always impressing others by this strange power that exudes from us. Others watch us--and their thinking and actions are modified by our influence."
"Be very careful, then, how you live--not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity." Ephesians 5:15-16
~J. R. Miller, "The Shadows We Cast"
