“Don't sit back and be a bystander of your own life”

“Don't make your own life your project in your own life: total waste of time.”

“Don't neglect the gold in your own back yard.”

“Love After LoveThe time will come when, with elation you will greet yourself arriving at your own door, in your own mirror and each will smile at the other's welcome, and say, sit here. Eat. You will love again the stranger who was your self.Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart to itself, to the stranger who has loved you all your life, whom you ignored for another, who knows you by heart. Take down the love letters from the bookshelf, the photographs, the desperate notes, peel your own image from the mirror. Sit. Feast on your life.”

“Everything that happens to you is your teacher. The secret is to learn to sit at the feet of your own life and be taught by it. Polly B. Berends”

“Follow your dreams and beielve in your heart day after day. Then sit back and just watch great things happen in your life!”
