“And here is the eternal wisdom: There are always challenges. You plan for one thing, and something else often happens. The long view—is this a desirable thing or an undesirable thing?—is rarely immediately apparent. Immediate emotional responses are just that. Noticing them, and reflecting, is always a good idea. And the cause of suffering—always—is struggling with challenge rather than responding with sound judgment and kindness.”
― Sylvia Boorstein, Happiness Is an Inside Job: Practicing for a Joyful Life

“Staying the course” should not be confused with clinging to a cursed “how.”
― Mike Dooley, Notes from the Universe: New Perspectives from an Old Friend

“It’s always best to assume that everyone either knows the truth or will know the truth, because either they do or they will.”
― Mike Dooley, Notes from the Universe: New Perspectives from an Old Friend

“Actually, it’s pretty simple. You have one real choice: To do your best, with what you have, from where you are. Everything else is just stalling.”
