“The only way ultimately to deal with uncertainty is to accept uncertainty, because we can't escape it. However we choose to schedule our calendars and time table, uncertainty still remains. This is a stubbornly uncertain world and we just have to deal with that. And one way to deal with it, is to see the value in uncertainty. You see far from being a curse, uncertainty can be a source of hope. Okay so yes it means that the things we are looking forward to might not be as good as we want them to be. But it also mean the things we dread might not be as terrible as we imagine.”

“I now avoid trying to see myself as one thing or the other. I'm not a happy person or a sad person. I am not a calm person or a fearful person. I am a happy, sad, calm, fearful person. I let myself feel it all. And that way I am always open to new feelings.”
