Your assumptions are your windows on the world. Scrub them off every once in a while, or the light won’t come in.

“

—	Isaac Asimov

" For each person there is a sentence—a series of words—which has the power to destroy them. "

Actual happiness always looks pretty squalid in comparison with the overcompensations for misery. And, of course, stability isn’t nearly so spectacular as instability. And being contented has none of the glamour of a good fight against misfortune, none of the picturesqueness of a struggle with temptation, or a fatal overthrow by passion or doubt. Happiness is never grand. "

" your mother is the longest magic show you will ever see
no one knows how her face is target practice for her partner and
a shield for her children
how she makes a mouthful of blood disappear
erases bruises
hardens teeth
how she wakes up and dresses her children before
dressing her wounds "

The truly rich person

Success comes to those who do not waste time comparing what they are doing with what others are doing; it enters the house of the person who says every day: ‘I will do my best.

’People who seek only success rarely find it, because success is not an end in itself, but a consequence.

Obsession doesn’t help at all, it becomes confused as to which path to follow and ends up taking away the pleasure of living.

The truly rich person is the one who is in contact with the energy of Love every second of his existence.

Education? Very little
Talent? Probably not a lotyet I sleep quite well at nightfor I do the best with what I got  
If you did the best you could, give yourself a hug.  It was indeed good enough.
