Let me give up the need to know why things happen as they do. I will never know and constant wondering is constant suffering.

I have to trust that there is a force greater than me that also knows and sees this, and breathes with it and knows that it's part of a grander plan, and all the good things people do matter.

We are actually more afraid of change than we are of death

Through the years of my life, the older I've gotten, the more sensitive I've become to the suffering of people and to my inability to really fix that. I wish that proportion was different. I wish I could help more. Unfortunately, that's not how the equation is working out here.

You never really know how or when your life is going to change, and that's for the best.

People define their life by what they want versus what they have. People get fixated on something and they have to have it, even though that voice inside tells them it's not meant for them.

Life was never meant to be safe. It was meant to be lived right to the end.
