There is a secret wisdom-of-the-ages
that holds the key to breaking our cycle of self-imposed suffering.
The secret wisdom is, "Life is not supposed to be fair."
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
"Why?" is the most useless question in the universe.
The only question with any meaning is "What?"
Asking "Why is this happening?" can only disempower you.
Asking "What do I want to make of this?" does exactly the opposite.
- Neale Donald Walsch
The less I take the difficulties of my life as personal affront,
and the more I use them as an opportunity to learn and grow...
the easier I sleep at night.
- Mary Anne Radmacher
Circumstances just happen to us.
What we get to choose is our response.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie (paraphrasing Epictetus)
