That’s what learning is, after all; not whether we lose the game, but how we lose and how we’ve changed because of it, and what we take away from it that we never had before, to apply to other games. Losing, in a curious way is winning.

Don't turn away from possible futures before you're certain you don't have anything to learn from them.

Just because somebody drops in on you from another dimension, don't assume they're wiser than you about anything at all, or that they can do anything better than you can do yourself. Discarnate or mortal, what matters about people is what they know.

You are led through your lifetime by the inner learning creature, the playful spiritual being that is your real self.

For most gulls it was not flying that matters, but eating. For this gull, though, it was not eating that mattered, but flight.

Choose a love and work to make it true, and somehow, something will happen, something you couldn’t plan, will come along to move like to like, to set you loose, to set you on the way to your next brick wall.

Live enough of what you've always dreamed of doing, and there's no room left for feeling bad.
