“I have a friend, a pastor, who applied with me and 419 other people for 25 seats on a special advisory board. Though I believed she was infinitely more qualified than me, she wasn't selected and I was. When I saw her at her church weeks later, I asked her how she felt about the decision. While disappointment, self-doubt and defeat would have been normal reactions to the Board's decision, my friend said she felt great. 'How come?' I asked. She said with a smile, 'I just figured God had something better in store for me.'” PeopleHas BeensSaidSelfFeltChurchDecisionDoubtSawsWeekSpecialNormalMy FriendsDefeatDisappointmentStoresReactionsBoardsSeatsPastorQualifiedSomething BetterSelectedSelf-doubtAdvisory Author:Jack Canfield

“I don't feel quite normal if I haven't written for a while. I doubt I will ever again write anything as popular as the "Harry" books, but I can live with that thought quite easily. By the time I stop writing about Harry, I will have lived with him for 13 years, and I know it's going to feel like a bereavement. So I'll probably take some time off to grieve, and then on with the next book!” IfsKnowsFeelsWritingYearsI CanBookNextDoubtWrittenHavensNormalGrievingBereavementTime Off Author:J. K. Rowling

“I was beginning to understand something about normality. Normality wasn't normal. It couldn't be. If normality were normal, everybody could leave it alone. They could sit back and let normality manifest itself. But people-and especially doctors- had doubts about normality. They weren't sure normality was up the job. And so they felt inclined to give it a boost.” PeopleIfsGivingJobsFeltDoubtNormalDoctorsManifestBoostNormality Book:Middlesex: A Novel Source: Middlesex: A Novel
