Dare yourself to believe in your creativity, wherever it may lead you. Trust that where it leads, is exactly where you're supposed to be. Your authentic self knows where you're headed. Don't wrestle with Spirit, collaborate with it.

It is difficult to experience moments of happiness if we are not aware of what it is we genuinely love.

We think that it's the big moments that define our lives-the wedding, the baby, the new house, the dream job. But really, these big moments of happiness are just the punctuation marks of our personal sagas. The narrative is written every day in the small, the simple, and the common. In your tiny choices, in these tiny changes. In the unconsidered. The overlooked. The discarded. The reclaimed.

Authentic success is living by your own lights.

writing is the most personal form of prayer.

Not having money to spend doesn’t mean we can’t have well-spent moments every day. (42)

Make peace with the knowledge that you can't have everything you want. Why? Because it's more important for us to get everything we need.
