1. “The precious life you’ve been given is like a ship navigating its way across the ocean, and you’re meant to be the captain of the vessel. Certainly there are times when storms toss you around or cover the deck with water or break the mast clean in half – but that’s when you need to fight your way back, to throw all the water off the boat bucket by bucket. That’s when you battle to get yourself back to the helm. This is your life. You are meant to be the hero of your own story.”

9. “A man is never happy, but spends his whole life in striving after something that he thinks will make him so; he seldom attains his goal, and when he does, it is only to be disappointed; he is mostly shipwrecked in the end, and comes into harbour with mast and rigging gone. And then, it is all one whether he is happy or miserable; for his life was never anything more than a present moment always vanishing; and now it is over.” Arthur Schopenhauer Happiness, Striving, Disappointment, Life Journey, Existential Reflection
11. “All my work and all my dealings with people feel very easy. Actually, everything is simple. There is one straight road – if you open your eyes you can go along it. I don’t see the need to search for all sorts of clever shortcuts. Happiness and sadness are both on the road – there is no road that avoids them – but peace is found only on this road, nowhere else.” Rabindranath Tagore Simplicity, Peace, Happiness, Life Journey, Awareness
20. “Come in, Bean. Come in Julian Delphiki, longed-for child of good and loving parents. Come in, kidnapped child, hostage of fate. Come and talk to the Fates, who are playing such clever little games with your life.” Orson Scott Card Fate, Destiny, Childhood, Manipulation, Life Journey, Mythological Allusion
