“Even though you may want to move forward in your life, you have one foot on the brakes. In order to be free, you must learn how to let go. Release the hurt. Release the fear. Refuse to entertain your old pain. The energy it takes to hang onto the past is holding you back from a new life.”
— Mary Manin Morrissey

“Stay quiet. Really quiet. Stay put. Everything you need to hear, you Heart is whispering it to you, right now. It’s not the first time you hear/read this, but until now, every time you have tried to listen, impatient, you just went away complaining you can’t hear anything… But it’s just that you haven’t keep quiet enough, my love… Your whispering Heart is so subtle… so discrete, humble, delicate, unpresuming, and infinitely patient… It will never, ever impose itself to you. So… keep quiet, my love, keep quiet. Be all ears.”

“The world is crammed with delightful things. I think young people make such a mistake about that — not letting themselves be happy. I sometimes think that happiness is the only thing that counts.”

“People will never stop asking you if you’re eventually going to go to college. And unless you’re clairvoyant, you will never be able to answer this question, which doesn’t stop people from asking it all the time. No matter what you’re deciding to do with your life, your answer will never seem good enough for some people. You have to learn to mentally flip the bird to them as you respond with something light and pithy, like, “Oh, who knows! Maybe one day.” These are the same people that will eventually plague your life with questions like, “When are you going to get married?” or “Don’t you want to have a baby?” What they’re really asking is, “So where exactly do you fit into this framework of social acceptance that I have bought into?” They are judging you by their own standards, and you shouldn’t be made to feel inferior as a result of not conforming to them. Even with a college degree, you’ll never know how things are going to turn out for you.”
