We must be able to look under the surface rather than over-analyze it and delude ourselves into thinking we’re seeing beneath it. - Brianna Wiest

What you have to know is that suffering is just the refusal to accept what is.

Our inability to perform is not based in fear or lack of skill, it is based in an inherent knowing that this is not what we want for our lives, and perhaps we’re feeling lost or unable to change our path.

Happiness is not having the best of everything, but the ability to make the best of anything. Happiness is knowing you are doing what you can with what you were given. Happiness is not something that comes to you when every problem is solved and all things are perfectly in place, but in the shining silver linings that remind us the light of day is always there, if you slow down enough to notice.
