At the end of our time on earth, if we have lived fully, we will not be able to say, ‘I was always happy.’ Hopefully, we will be able to say, ‘I have experienced a lifetime of real moments, and many of them were happy moments.’
One of the most courageous things we do is change. If everyone says you’re wonderful every time you wear a red dress, and you change to yellow, that takes courage.
The more connections you and your lover make, not just between your bodies, but between your minds, your hearts, and your souls, the more you will strengthen the fabric of your relationship, and the more real moments you will experience together.
Happiness is not an acquisition – it is a skill. We do not experience happiness because of what we get. We experience happiness because of how we live each moment.
Don’t be proud of what you know, and don’t be self-confident if you are learned. Be open to advice from the unlearned as well as from the learned. Art knows no limit, and the artists will never achieve perfection.
No matter what age you are, or what your circumstances might be, you are special and you still have something unique to offer. Your life, because of who you are, has meaning.
There has never been, and never again will be a human being like you. There is nothing ordinary about you. If you feel ordinary, it is because you have chosen to hide the extraordinary parts of yourself from the world.
