The "stories" we choose to tell about our past
are never what a video camera would have recorded.

and neither story is either
more accurate or "better" than the other story.
The difference is that one story causes us to suffer,
while the other brings us joy. I choose joy.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

even more sharply by applying your focused effort.

I believe that everything happens for a reason.

and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.

When everything goes dead wrong.

who walked through the huts comforting others,
giving away their last piece of bread...

to choose one's own way.
- Viktor E. Frankl

I accept gratefully the entirety of my past and my present life.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

expectations (demands) that we hold for the actions of others.

have a strong opinion and point-of-view,
and are sure that we know how everything is supposed to be.
