I'd rather be happy than right.

The components of happiness are quite simple. Happiness is gentleness, peace, concentration, simplicity, forgiveness, humor, fearlessness, trust, and now. In its true form each quality includes all the rest, for happiness is whole, and one feels whole when genuinely happy.

I talk because I feel, and I talk to you because I want you to know how I feel.

What an absurd amount of energy I have been wasting all my life trying to find out how things 'really are', when all the time they weren't.

Some people will like me and some won't. So I might as well be myself, and then at least I'll know that the people who like me, like me.

My prayer is: I will be what I will be, I will do what I will do.

perfectionism is a slow death. if everything were to turn out just like i would want it to, just like i would plan for it to, then i would never experience anything new; my life would be an endless repetition of stale successes. when i make a mistake i experience something unexpected.... when i have listened to my mistakes i have grown.
