It's all for Him. I'm blessed, I love, and I'm loved.  “To look at is one thing;  To see is another. To understand is a third. To learn from what you understand is still something else. But to act on what you learn is what really matters.”

“The role of the woman is defined, in my opinion, by two factors: her identity and her self-determination. A woman, just like a man, has to be able to choose her own future, to pursue her own life project. To do this, she must have the same opportunities as a man. And she will do this by reason of her own identity, being who she is, without falling into the temptation of mimicry, without imitating the customs and manners of men, thinking that in this way she will find herself.“

Learn how to recognize truth. Learn to know the truth. Become the truth. Spread the truth. Even when it's ugly, there is nothing more beautiful than that.

If you pay careful attention, even on a bad day, you may be fortunate enough to be confronted with small opportunities of just that sort. Maybe you will see a little girl dancing on the street because she is all dressed up in a ballet costume. Maybe you will have a particularly good cup of coffee in a café that cares about their customers. Maybe you can steal ten or twenty minutes to do some little ridiculous thing that distracts you or reminds you that you can laugh at the absurdity of existence. Personally, I like to watch a Simpsons episode at 1.5 times regular speed: all the laughs; two-thirds the time. And maybe when you are going for a walk and your head is spinning a cat will show up and if you pay attention to it then you will get a reminder for just fifteen seconds that the wonder of Being might make up for the ineradicable suffering that accompanies it. Pet a cat when you encounter one on the street.

For a woman to become complete, such stories claim, she must form a relationship with masculine consciousness and stand up to the terrible world (which sometimes manifests itself, primarily, in the form of her too-present mother). An actual man can help her do that, to some degree, but it is better for everyone concerned when no one is too dependent.

There's a line in the old testament, 'The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom'... It's not that I'm courageous it's that I'm afraid of the right things... It's less risky to say something than to remain silent when you know there is something to be said. I know that to be the case... There is no pathway forward that's going to shield you from risk... I think I picked the lesser risk and that might be wise but I'm not sure it's courageous.

That's all I want. I want to help as many individuals as possible become more courageous, more truthful, and more engaged in the pursuit of individual, familial and social harmony.

Manufacturing Serendipity

Go to places that are not your office (conferences, events, meetups, trains, etc)

Participate in things, learn things, and be generally game for new experiences

Meet interesting people in the process

Build relationships

Be generally awesome by helping the people you’ve met and doing good deeds with no expectation of a return

Repeat 1-5 hundreds of times

- The true value of serendipity usually comes years down the line.

- It’s nearly impossible to measure the impact of serendipity.

- Attribution is almost always misplaced.

“Kate: I wish there was a cookbook for life, you know? Recipes telling us exactly what to do. I know, I know, you're gonna say ‘How else will you learn, Kate.’ Therapist: mm. No, actually I wasn't going to say that. You want to guess again? Kate: No, no, go ahead. Therapist: Well what I was going to say was, you know better than anyone, it's the recipes that you create yourself that are the best.” ― No Reservations

What horrifies me most is the idea of being useless: well-educated, brilliantly promising, and fading out into an indifferent middle age.
