Becoming Who You Are Ain't for Sissies

I’m saying what you already know: Never count anyone out. Don’t count yourself out. Don’t take the world’s appraisal of you and make it your own. Be aware of its appraisal—maybe the world has reasons for its reservations, maybe you should work on them. But maybe the world isn’t giving more than a cursory look; maybe it’s hardly looking at all. Even if it is, its estimation will likely lack a warmth of imagination. You may have to bring your own. And after the warmth, the work. Becoming who you are ain’t for sissies.

— Peggy Noonan, from "Becoming Who You Are Ain't for Sissies" (wsj.com, May 28, 2026)

You don’t know you’re in the good years until you’re standing in the quiet they left behind.

The world is full of painful stories. Sometimes it seems as though there aren't any other kind, and yet I found myself thinking how beautiful that glint of water was through the trees.
