When some things don’t work out, other things do.Some of life’s most memorable and fun experiences happen precisely because things don’t go as planned.

I had to break to pieces, so I could reassemble even stronger.

and then there was that time you sucked down your fear, breathed into it, faced it with a courage that moves mountains, and you stepped right into that thing, that situation, that experience moments and forever before had crippled and controlled you, and had you believing you could never rise up to meet it. but you did, because you could. and you will again, because you can. yes, you can.

Breathe deeply and remember to love.

I’ve come to understand that life is a constant letting go.

Share your gifts. Learn from the gifts of others.Stay open to whichever role — teacher and/or student — life is calling on you to play. And bring as much acceptance and love to each performance.When we walk through life as only a teacher, we miss out on learning from the world around us.When we walk through life as only a student, we miss out on sharing our unique vision of the world.

I don’t wish for more time. I wish for more courage to live freely right now.

What is true for you?What makes your heart smile?When do you feel most yourself?What do you love to do?Ask yourself these questions, and live your life, as best you can,in accordance with the answers.This is how you taste happiness.This is how you love yourself. This is how you grow.

Listen to me, you’ve got this. Seriously, you’ve got this.
