“Someday,
everything will make a perfect sense
so for now,
laugh at the confusion,
smile through the tears
and keep reminding yourself
that everything happens for a reason.”

“I used to think
that anyone doing anything weird was weird.
I suddenly realized
that anyone doing anything weird
wasn’t weird at all
and it was the people saying they were weird
that were weird.”

“When you go out into the woods,
and you look at trees,
you see all these different trees.
And some of them are bent,
and some of them are straight,
and some of them are evergreens,
and some of them are whatever.
And you look at the tree and you allow it.
You see why it is the way it is.
You sort of understand that it didn’t get enough light,
and so it turned that way.
And you don’t get all emotional about it.
You just allow it.
You appreciate the tree.
The minute you get near humans,
you lose all that.
And you are constantly saying
‘You are too this, or I’m too this.’
That judgment mind comes in.
And so I practice turning people into trees.
Which means appreciating them just the way they are.”

“Your living is determined not so much
by what life brings to you
as by the attitude you bring to life;
not so much by what happens to you
as by the way your mind looks at what happens.”
~ Khalil Gibran
