“Meeting your soul mate is like walking into a house you’ve been in before - you will recognize the furniture, the pictures on the wall,the books on the shelves, the contents of drawers: You could find your way around in the dark if you had to.”
— Jandy Nelson
I want to surround myself with people who are comfortable with being wrong. Who want the light to get brighter. Who can laugh at their past self.
Your current state is a result of your past actions so don’t be discouraged if things aren’t going right. Focus on the present so you can change your future.
“Though we’d like to believe our thoughts are under our control, guess again. Thoughts arise constantly, and many have no business being in our minds, nor do they have a positive purpose in our lives. Road rage, what goes through your mind when someone cuts you off in traffic, is a good example of an emotion-driven thought.”
— Mark Divine, The Way of the Seal
