“You can't do what you want to, so just do what you have to.”
“Do what you have to do so that you can be what you want to be”
“If you can't do what you want, do what you can.”
“We can't know or say what other people do. You have to think what you want to do to get the situation where you want it to be.”
“You can't know now what the results will be in the future. So for now, don't even think about it. Think about what you want to do and what you can do. That's very different from 'running away'. What do you want to do?”
“Getting what you want is just as difficult as not getting what you want. Because then you have to figure out what to do with it instead of figuring out what to do without it. ”
