Life Does Not Look Back
“When we least expect it, life sets us a challenge to test our courage and willingness to change; at such a moment, there is no point in pretending that nothing has happened or in saying that we are not yet ready. The challenge will not wait. Life does not look back. A week is more than enough time for us to decide whether or not to accept our destiny.”
(Paulo Coelho, “The Devil and Miss Prym”)
Make Me Happy
“I do not exist to impress the world. I exist to live my life in a way that will make me happy.”
— Richard Bach, Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah
Towards
“Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run,
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.”
— J.R.R. Tolkien, “The Lord of the Rings”
