    “After spending decades studying how people deal with setbacks, psychologist Martin Seligman found that three P's can stunt recovery: (1) personalization - the belief that we are at fault; (2) pervasiveness - the belief that an event will affect all areas of our life; and (3) permanence - the belief that the aftershocks of the event will last forever.”
    ― Adam Grant, Option B: Facing Adversity, Building Resilience, and Finding Joy

    Damien Echols
    “Someone sent me a letter that had one of the best quotes I've ever read. It said "What is to give light must endure burning." It's by a writer named Viktor Frankl. I've been turning that quote over and over in my head. The truth of it is absolutely awe-inspiring. In the end, I believe it's why we all suffer. It's the meaning we all look for behind the tragedies in our lives. The pain deepens us, burns away our impurities and petty selfishness. It makes us capable of empathy and sympathy. It makes us capable of love. The pain is the fire that allows us to rise from the ashes of what we were, and more fully realize what we can become. When you can step back and see the beauty of the process, it's amazing beyond words.”

    Mary Karr
    “If you live in the dark a long time and the sun comes out, you do not cross into it whistling. There's an initial uprush of relief at first, then-for me, anyway- a profound dislocation. My old assumptions about how the world works are buried, yet my new ones aren't yet operational.There's been a death of sorts, but without a few days in hell, no resurrection is possible.”

    Barbara Kingsolver
    “In my own worst seasons I've come back from the colorless world of despair by forcing myself to look hard, for a long time, at a single glorious thing: a flame of red geranium outside my bedroom window. And then another: my daughter in a yellow dress. And another: the perfect outline of a full, dark sphere behind the crescent moon. Until I learned to be in love with my life again. Like a stroke victim retraining new parts of the brain to grasp lost skills, I have taught myself joy, over and over again(15).”

    René Daumal
    “I am dead because I lack desire,
    I lack desire because I think I possess,
    I think I possess because I do not try to give,
    In trying to give, you see that you have nothing,
    Seeing that you have nothing, you try to give of yourself,
    Trying to give of yourself, you see that you are nothing,
    Seeing that you are nothing, you desire to become,
    In desiring to become, you begin to live.”

    L.J. Smith
    “She had the feeling that she would be different from now on, that she could never go back and be the same person she had been.

    So who am I now?
    Somebody fierce, I think.
    Somebody who’d enjoy running through the darkness, underneath stars bright as miniature suns, and maybe even hunt deer.
    Somebody who can laugh and death”
