Success means

Having the courage, the determination, and the will to become the person you
believe you were meant to be.

In recognition of today's events

Every ceiling, when reached, becomes a floor
Aldous Huxley

I'm

a happy girl these days, that's all.

why?

Why does the glass have to be half full or half empty? Isn't just half enough? Neither optimistic or pessimistic but content.

an excerpt from eat, love, pray

"The Yogic sages say that all the pain of a human life is caused by words, as is all the joy. We create words to define our experience and those words bring attendant emotions that jerk us around like dogs on a leash. We get seduced by our own mantras and we become monuments to them. To stop talking for a while, then, is to attempt to strip away the power of words, to stop choking ourselves with words, to liberate ourselves from our suffocating mantras."

cookies
