“I think one thing that kids who grow up on farms really have going for them is they have exposure to death and birth in a totally different way. I think it takes away a little bit of the mystery and a little bit of the fear, and I do wish I had that. And I wish I was able to grow my own food.” ThinkingWayLittlesDifferentKidsAbleWishGrowsBitsMy OwnGrowing UpOne ThingMysteryBirthLittle BitDifferent WaysFarmsExposure Author:Rachel McAdams
“If you asked somebody, 'what do you wish for in life?' they wouldn't say 'happiness.' I would have answered 'excitement, knowledge,' God knows - I mean, many, many different things, but certainly not 'happiness'. It seemed like a foreign concept to wish for something that specific and that singular.” IfsKnowsMeanDifferentWishConceptsExcitementDifferent ThingsGod Knows Author:Connie Nielsen

“When you struggle against this moment, you're actually struggling against the entire universe. Instead, you can make the decision that today you will not struggle against the whole universe by struggling against this moment. This means that your acceptance of this moment is total and complete. You accept things as they are, not as you wish they were in this moment. This is important to understand. You can wish for things in the future to be different, but in this moment you have to accept things as they are.” MeanImportantDifferentWholeMomentsRealityTodayUniverseWishDecisionAcceptingStruggleAcceptanceMoments In TimeAccepting Reality Author:Deepak Chopra
“All pain in life comes from wishing things were different than they are. Conversely, peace and happiness must come from accepting life as it is and breaking through the barriers of illusion to do so...

“Imagine that the world is a circle, that God is the center, and that the radii are the different ways human beings live. When those who wish to come closer to God walk towards the center of the circle, they come closer to one another at the same time as to God.

And the closer they come to one another, the closer they come to God.” WorldWayHumansDifferentWishHuman BeingsWalksImagineCirclesDifferent WaysImagine ThatRadius Author:Dorotheus of Gaza

“A gentleman of ambition is aware of the people he wishes to be associated with both socially and commercially. He knows that moving through different levels of society is akin to stepping through different rooms in an enormous house, each door leading to a grander environment than the last. He may, of course, settle for the comfort of any room he reaches. Alternatively, he may continue through successive doors to surround himself with even greater fineries and riches.” PeopleKnowsMayDifferentLastsMovingCoursesHouseWishLevelsRoomsEnvironmentGreaterDoorsComfortAmbitionRichesEnormousSettlingGentlemanSurroundDifferent Levels Author:Chris Murray
“As a young child, being different is isolating, and as a teenager it's humiliating. I wish I had been able to stand out with more confidence when I was a child, and especially when I was a teenager. I was different, but it wasn't always a conscious choice, and it often made me miserable. But I'm all grown up now, and so are you. Today, difference is your strength, your power, and your trademark. It's your signature. It can still be difficult to be different--sometimes even harder than it used to be. Even so, it's time to embrace being yourself.
