“We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty.”

Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.

My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.

You did in your twenties what you knew how to do, and when you knew better you did better.

You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.
