Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Who seeks shall find.
If you think you can do it, you can.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
I can, therefore I am.
I discovered that in a story I could safely dream any dream, hope any hope, go anywhere I pleased any time I pleased, fight any foe, win or lose, live or die. My stories created a safe experimental learning place.
