“If you cannot be grateful for what you have received, then be thankful for what you have been spared.”
- Yiddish proverb

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
—Bene Gesserit “Litany Against Fear”, from Frank Herbert’s Dune

“Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.” – Theodore Roosevelt

Schwarzenneger

“To venture causes anxiety. Not to venture is to lose oneself.”

Seriously, if you want anything, all you have to do is show up. Do what you do, and it will happen. Stop trying to get it. That is cutting corners. That gets in the way. Just do your thing. You keep doing what you do, and you can have anything. Only work on what you can do, and let go. Enjoy doing it in that moment. Stop monitoring while you are doing. Results will show up when its time. Also, the results will be bigger than you can imagine, which is why you should stop deciding how it will go. Want the ultimate woman? Become the ultimate man first, and vice versa. Want the ultimate career? Become the best in that field. People will notice. Want the ultimate life? Allow. Stop thinking you are in lack without that thing or person. Just create. Don’t know how? Good. Just start. It will answer itself. Just start. That’s it.

Can you imagine how little we would get done in the 80s if we checked our mailboxes a hundred times a day, and when we got there, there were sexy pics of our friends, and then other people instantly talking to you? Every time you said something out loud, people would tap you on the shoulder and "Like" it. Then people get into an argument about what you just said, and you keep getting updated on that argument that is happening and has nothing to do with you? That would be so distracting.

what you like. Like what you do. Optimism can take you anywhere.

of all time, from one of my fave movies… captain corellis mandolin:

When you fall in love, it is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake, and then it subsides. And when it subsides, you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots are become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the desire to mate every second of the day. It is not lying awake at night imagining that he is kissing every part of your body. No… don’t blush. I am telling you some truths. For that is just being in love; which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over, when being in love has burned away. Doesn’t sound very exciting, does it? But it is!
