“We
don't make mistakes, just happy little accidents.”
―

Rebecca Walker, Baby Love: Choosing Motherhood After a Lifetime of Ambivalence
“If
you can keep your head when all about you
Are
losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If
you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But
make allowance for their doubting too;
If
you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or
being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or
being hated, don't give way to hating,
And
yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise
If
you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If
you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If
you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And
treat those two impostors just the same;
If
you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted
by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or
watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And
stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools
If
you can make one heap of all your winnings
And
risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And
lose, and start again at your beginnings
And
never breathe a word about your loss;
If
you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To
serve your turn long after they are gone,
And
so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except
the will which says to them: 'Hold on!'
If
you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or
walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch,
If
neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If
all men count with you, but none too much;
If
you can fill the unforgiving minute
With
sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours
is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And
- which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!”
― Rudyard
Kipling, If: A Father's Advice to His Son
“Dear
God," she prayed, "let me be something every minute of every hour of
my life. Let me be gay; let me be sad. Let me be cold; let me be warm. Let me
be hungry...have too much to eat. Let me be ragged or well dressed. Let me be
sincere - be deceitful. Let me be truthful; let me be a liar. Let me be
honorable and let me sin. Only let me be something every blessed minute. And
when I sleep, let me dream all the time so that not one little piece of living
is ever lost.”

Steve Maraboli, Life, the Truth, and Being Free
“A
star falls from the sky and into your hands. Then it seeps through your veins
and swims inside your blood and becomes every part of you. And then you have to
put it back into the sky. And it's the most painful thing you'll ever have to
do and that you've ever done. But what's yours is yours. Whether it’s up in the
sky or here in your hands. And one day, it'll fall from the sky and hit you in
the head real hard and that time, you won't have to put it back in the sky
again.”
― C.
