In school, you're taught a lesson and then given a test. In life, you're given a test that teaches you a lesson.

Tom Bodett

Life is full of movement. Even when we are still, something is always happening around us.

Everything has its time. If you feel the need for change in your life, recognizing this is the first step, and perhaps that is enough for today. Who knows, maybe tomorrow, the day after, or the start of next week will be the right time for the second step needed to make this change happen.

What's meant for you will find you when the time is right. You cannot mess up anything that is meant for you, and what has already been messed up was not meant for you in the first place. Just keep following your heart and give your best. You will get more than you dreamed of when the time arrives.

If something's bound to happen, it will happen. Right time, right person, and for the best reason.

Aristotle

Be happy for this moment. This moment is your life.

Omar Khayyam

Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.

George Bernard Shaw

We must be willing to get rid of
the life we've planned, so as to have
the life that is waiting for us.

The old skin has to be shed
before the new one can come.

If we fix on the old, we get stuck.
When we hang onto any form,
we are in danger of putrefaction.

Hell is life drying up.

Joseph Campbell - A Joseph Campbell Companion: Reflections on the Art of Living

It's easy to mourn the lives we aren't living. Easy to wish we'd developed other talents, said yes to different offers. Easy to wish we'd worked harder, loved better, handled our finances more astutely, been more popular, stayed in the band, gone to Australia, said yes to the coffee or done more bloody yoga.

Matt Haig - The Midnight Library

It is easy to regret, and keep regretting, ad infinitum, until our time runs out. But it is not lives we regret not living that are the real problem. It is the regret itself. It's the regret that makes us shrivel and wither and feel like our own and other people's worst enemy.
We can't tell if any of those other versions had been better or worse. Those lives are happening, it is true, but you are happening as well, and that is the happening we have to focus on.

Matt Haig -The Midnight Library

We cannot alter objective facts. But subjective interpretations can be altered as much as one likes. And we are inhabitants of a subjective world.

Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans.

John Lennon

Embrace the present; dwelling on yesterday robs you of today's essence. Embrace life's simplicity and unpredictability, revel in your daily doses of love, and brush aside negativity. Find happiness on your own terms.

Each sunrise brings freshness and opportunity.

At times, when everything seems to go awry, life reveals its better plans for us.

do not paraphrase your chapters
for someone who can't understand
the meaning behind the words.
