Accept – then act. Whatever the present moment contains, accept it as if you had chosen it. Always work with it, not against it…
This will miraculously transform your whole life.

Walk your path
I see my path, but I don’t know where it leads. Not knowing where I’m going is what inspires me to travel it.

The four agreements
Be Impeccable with your word
- Speak with integrity.
- Say only what you mean.
- Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others.
- Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.
Don’t take anything personally
- Nothing others do is because of you
- What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream.
- When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won’t be the victim of needles suffering.
Don’t make assumptions
- Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want.
- Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness and drama.
- With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life.
Always do your best
- Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick.
- Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse, and regret.

Breathtaking!
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.
Maya Angelou
A positive perspective
She can live through it, Miss Taggart, because we do not hold the belief that this earth is a realm of misery where man is doomed to destruction. We do not think that tragedy is our natural fate and we do not live in chronic dread of disaster. We do not expect disaster until we have a specific reason to expect it – and when we encounter it, we are free to fight it. It is not happiness, but suffering that we consider unnatural. It is not success, but calamity that we regard as the abnormal exception in human life.
John Galt, Atlas Shrugged
Follow your heart
Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.

Live a little
There are basically two types of people: those that live and the ones that watch them live. Attitude is everything.

Don’t worry, be happy
Life has become immeasurably better since I have been forced to stop taking it seriously.

Positive influence
As we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.

Go for it!
Buy the ticket, take the ride.
Hunter S. Thompson
I like to remind myself of this powerrful quote every time I’m questioning wether I should go out (partying/ on an adventure/ hanging out with friends) or not.
But what makes this quote so powerful is that it comes from the legenday Hunter S. Thompson. Meaning: If you don’t get goosebumps reading this, you should probably go and read one (or preferably many more) books by Thompson!
