“We are all born with a rut radar. Mine is finely wired, a little oversensitive maybe. Perhaps just a bit hyperactive. Twenty steady boyfriends before turning 16, a new best friend 12 times a year, switched college majors every time I met someone who seemed exactly like the sort of person I really, really wanted to be. I'm not fickle. I'm just never there yet.” YearsLittlesPersonsWantedBitsBornMinesCollegeMetsMajorsTwentiesSteadyRadarFickleRuts Book:Tales From A Broad: An Unreliable Memoir Source: Tales From A Broad: An Unreliable Memoir
“Most of us feel on some level like race horses chomping at the bit, pressing at the gate, hoping and praying for someone to open the door and let us run out. We feel so much pent up energy, so much locked up talent. We know in our hearts that we were born to do great things, and we have a deep-seated dread of wasting our lives. But the only person who can free us is ourselves. Most of us know that. We realize that the locked door is our own fear.” KnowsFeelsHeartPersonsRunningEnergyBitsRealizingBornLevelsRaceOur LivesDoorsTalentPrayingHorseGreat ThingsGatesLockedDreadLocked UpLocked DoorsRace Horses Author:Marianne Williamson
