“I have come to accept the feeling of not knowing where I am going. And I have trained myself to love it. Because it is only when we are suspended in mid-air with no landing in sight, that we force our wings to unravel and alas begin our flight. And as we fly, we still may not know where we are going to. But the miracle is in the unfolding of the wings. You may not know where you're going, but you know that so long as you spread your wings, the winds will carry you.”

C. Joybell C.

“I think that we are like stars. Something happens to burst us open; but when we burst open and think we are dying; we’re actually turning into a supernova. And then when we look at ourselves again, we see that we’re suddenly more beautiful than we ever were before!”

C. Joybell C.

"Don't rely on someone else for your happiness
and self-worth. Only you can be responsible for 
that. If you can't love and respect yourself - no 
one else will be able to make that happen. 

Accept who you are - completely; the good and the bad - and make changes as you see fit - not because you think someone else wants you to be different."

-Stacey Charter

"The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance." -Alan Watts

"Control, apparently, is not the answer.  People who need certainty in their lives are less likely to make art that is risky, subversive, complicated, iffy, suggestive or spontaneous.  What's really needed is nothing more than a broad sense of what you are looking for, some strategy for how to find it, and an overriding willingness to embrace mistakes and surprises along the way.  Simply put, making art is chancy - it doesn't mix well with predictability.  Uncertainty is the essential, inevitable and all-pervasive companion to your desire to make art.  And tolerance for uncertainty is the prerequisite to succeeding."  ~Art & Fear

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do.  So throw off the bowlines.  Sail away from the safe harbor.  Catch the trade winds in your sails.  Explore.  Dream.  Discover.”  ~Mark Twain

"Our suffering comes from the fact that we are attached to the outer form that something assumes in a given instant rather than the movable conversation that stands behind it.  Keeping up with what is occurring rather than lagging and getting caught in things that no longer exist, is one of the the great disciplines of life."  ~David Whyte, The Three Marriages 

“Nothing is secure but life, transition, the energizing spirit.”  ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

"We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We grow sometimes in one dimension, and not in another; unevenly. We grow partially. We are relative. We are mature in one realm, childish in another. The past, present, and future mingle and pull us backward, forward, or fix us in the present. We are made up of layers, cells, constellations."
-Anais Nin

"Change your thoughts and you change your world."
- Norman Vincent Peale

"They say that time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself."
- Andy Warhol

"I am lingering in uncertainty, in the beauty of what has yet to be revealed, in the magic of what I can’t yet see." Christine Mason Miller

“Your willingness to look at your darkness is what empowers you to change.” -Iyanla Vanzant

"No matter how qualified or deserving we are, we will never reach a better life until we can imagine it for ourselves and allow ourselves to have it". - Richard Bach

All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy, for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves. - Anatole France

"What is necessary to change one's self is to change the awareness of one's self" - A. Maslow

The wheel of change moves on, and those who were down go up and those who were up go down. ~Jawaharlal Nehru

We did not change as we grew older; we just became more clearly ourselves. ~Lynn Hall

Change

If nothing ever changed, there'd be no butterflies. ~Author Unknown
