“It is important to ask yourself why you’re doing what you’re doing and what purpose it serves in the big picture.”

“It doesn’t matter’, she says, her voice soft. ‘Don’t beat yourself up for not knowing all the answers. You don’t always have to know who you are. You don’t have to have the big picture, or know where you’re heading. Sometimes it’s enough just to know what you’re going to do next.”

“Whenever you're unsure of yourself, whenever you're in doubt, ask yourself three questions. What do you believe in? What do you hope for? but most important, ask yourself, what do you love?”

“Instead of asking yourself how you can change that aspect of you, maybe you should be asking yourself why you were created that way. For what purpose do you exist the way that you are?”

“I think you’re extremely rude! And you’re doing it on purpose!”“Of course. One should never be rude except on purpose.”…”Why?”…”Because one should never appear to anything without intent. It’s the secret of poise.”

“Listen, you’re not doing God any favors by praying. You’re doing yourself a favor.”
