Whatever you desire is already connected in some way to who you are and what you now have. Find that way, follow the connection.

The meaning of life is just to be alive. It is so plain and so obvious and so simple. And yet, everybody rushes around in a great panic as if it were necessary to achieve something beyond themselves.

I guess when you’re young, you believe there will be many people whom you’ll connect with. Later in life you realize it only happens a few times.

Don’t settle. Don’t finish crappy books. If you don’t like the menu, leave the restaurant. If you’re not on the right path, get off it.

There is nothing wrong with loving the crap out of everything. Negative people find their walls. So never apologize for your enthusiasm. Never. Ever. Never.

And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don’t believe in magic will never find it.

It is so hard to leave — until you leave. And then it is the easiest goddamned thing in the world.

Close some doors today. Not because of pride, incapacity or arrogance, but simply because they lead you nowhere.
