“Demand not that things happen as you wish, but wish them to happen as they do, and you will go on well.”

“Don't seek to have events happen as you wish, but wish them to happen as they do happen, and all will be well with you.”

“It is always the simple things that change our lives. And these things never happen when you are looking for them to happen. Life will reveal answers at the pace life wishes to do so. You feel like running, but life is on a stroll. This is how God does things.”

“When you wish for something over and over again and it doesn't come true, something else happens; not only do you give up, but you resent your wish and you resent wishing.”

“I must stop wishing for things to happen. Because something will happen eventually, and when it does, I'll be bound to wish it hadn't.”

“If you didn't remember something happening, was it because it never had happened? Or because you wished it hadn't?”
