Never cut a tree down in the wintertime. Never make a negative decision in the low time. Never make your most important decisions when you are in your worst moods. Wait. Be patient. The storm will pass. The spring will come.

The unfed mind devours itself.

We are shaped by each other. We adjust not to the reality of the world, but to the reality of other thinkers.

There are far, far better things ahead than any we leave behind.

You don’t ever have to feel guilty about removing toxic people from your life. It doesn’t matter whether someone is a relative, romantic interest, employer, childhood friend, or a new acquaintance — you don’t have to make room for people who cause you pain or make you feel small. It’s one thing if a person owns up to their behavior and makes an effort to change. But if a person disregards your feelings, ignores your boundaries, and continues to treat you in a harmful way, they need to go.

We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world.

When I am with you, there is nowhere else I’d rather be. And I am a person who always wants to be somewhere else.
