"Listen. Are you breathing just a little and calling it a life?"

— Mary Oliver

Be proud of all the people you meet, be happy for them and encourage them. Your life is so much nicer when you realize other people are like you. The world is a friendlier place when we try to see and treat everyone as a friend.

“The real art of conversation is not only to say the right thing in the right place, but, far more difficult still, to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.”

(Dorothy Nevill)

Don't expect injustice and trauma to pass you by.

Everyone has a rucksack to carry.

The trick is to learn to shoulder it and go out into the world cheerfully.

A fit body, a calm mind, a house full of love.

These things cannot be bought — they must be earned.

(Naval Ravikant)

You’re spending time to save money when you should be spending money to save time. - Naval Ravikant

See the world as if you were on vacation. Look at the world with a sense of excitement and wonder, appreciate the local customs and the unique landscape around you. Explore and discover your world, even if it's just your broom closet.

Patience is a form of wisdom.

It demonstrates that we understand and accept the fact

that sometimes things must unfold in their own time.

(Jon Kabat-Zinn)
