“I watch the coffee drip, thinking of not just how fleeting time is but how the truly magical moments in our lives are the simplest, and how we let them pass without a thought. We foolishly believe that somehow they will all last forever, that destiny will not show up at our door unannounced and knock when we least expect it.”

“Keep giving. Don’t stop planting. Whatever grows, then great. Whatever dies, take little notice. If you plant enough, then the things that die or are stunted pale into insignificance next to everything else which has flourished. Use failures and flops as learning devices. Keep moving forwards. Keep investing yourself, your money, your time, and everything else you have to offer. Trust your own destiny, but don’t imagine that your destiny will destine on its own. Without you and your effort, your destiny won’t lift a finger.”
