Time waits for no ovary.

I'm a person who's fine saying 'No.' I like saying to myself, "no gossiping," "no nagging."

It was time to expect more of myself. Yet as I thought about happiness, I kept running up against paradoxes. I wanted to change myself but accept myself. I wanted to take myself less seriously -- and also more seriously. I wanted to use my time well, but I also wanted to wander, to play, to read at whim. I wanted to think about myself so I could forget myself. I was always on the edge of agitation; I wanted to let go of envy and anxiety about the future, yet keep my energy and ambition.

We tend to overestimate what we can do in a short period, and underestimate what we can do over a long period.

Turn off your email; turn off your phone; disconnect from the Internet; figure out a way to set limits so you can concentrate when you need to, and disengage when you need to. Technology is a good servant but a bad master.

Now is now. Here is my treasure.

The biggest waste of time is to do well something that we need not do at all.
