With our intimate partners, we can take responsibility for the parts of ourselves that are hardest to deal with - because we finally know ourselves well enough to do so.

The real action is interior - all the growth that cannot be seen externally and to which we tend to have little access until we have experienced it ourselves.

In many ways, the physical dimension of life becomes less important as the soul enlarges. In my late twenties, I was astonished by the elders with whom I began to spend most of my professional time - how vivacious so many of them were, once I looked beyond my negative bias.

Stay open and curious, and realize that the best is yet to come.

The older we get, the less prone we are to putting off what we really want to do, therefore you will be able to seek out new directions later.

Kindness is never wasted.

You will find your way. Don't be afraid of getting stuck in some of the necessary compromises. Learn everything you can from each experience, even if something seems irrelevant to your true purpose.
