It's always necessary to know when a stage of one's life has ended. If you stubbornly cling to it after the need has passed, you lose the joy and meaning of the rest. And you risk being shaken to your senses by God.

After weeks on the road, listening to a language you don’t understand, using a currency whose value you don’t comprehend, walking down streets you’ve never walked down before, you discover that your old “I,” along with everything you ever learned, is absolutely no use at all in the face of those new challenges, and you begin to realize that buried deep in your unconscious mind there is someone much more interesting and adventurous and more open to the world and to new experiences.

To believe in your choice you don't need to prove that other people's choices are wrong.

Have courage, be capable of loving.... Be happy in love. Be joyful in victory. Follow the dictates of your heart.

Sometimes happiness is a blessing, but generally it is a conquest. Each day's magic moment helps.

When you are enthusiastic about what you do, you feel this positive energy. It's very simple.

We have to be prepared for change.
