The most important thing in life is not to capitalize on our gains, any fool can do that. The really important thing is to profit from your losses. That requires intelligence; and it makes the difference between a man of sense and a fool.

Be faithful to that which exists within yourself. Don't worry if you make mistakes because that's how most people learn. I can't tell you what your purpose is, that's got to come from you. I think we need to recognize that learning is a lifelong goal, a lifelong experience. Acts that proceed from your calm center are always more effective than acts that proceed from fear, guilt, or anger. Perspective comes with time. Smooth seas do not make skillful sailors. Sometimes the things that break your heart end up fixing your vision. Our scars are proof that we can heal. The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance. The wise grows it under his feet.
