Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself. Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.Challenges come so we can grow and be prepared for things we are not equipped to handle now. We can throw stones, complain about them, stumble on them, climb over them, or build with them. Life is an art we are required to practice without preparation, a score that we play at sight even before we have mastered our instruments.
How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant of the weak and strong. Because someday in your life you will have been all of these.Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.The talent for being happy is appreciating and liking what you have, instead of what you don’t have.
