That is a question we cannot answer before, or even during, the trials. Only when we have overcome them do we understand why they were there.

I believe that I am guided by chance encounters. I believe in the miracle of chance encounters.

The simple things are also the most extraordinary things, and only the wise can see them.

If you pay attention to the present, you can improve upon it

Every blessing ignored becomes a curse.

Fear reaches only to the point where the unavoidable begins; from there on, it loses its meaning. And all we have left is the hope that we are making the right decision.
