Is this what growing into an adult woman is – having to predict and accordingly arrange for the avoidance of sexual harassment?
When we least expect it, life sets us a challenge to test our courage and willingness to change; at such a moment, there is no point in pretending that nothing has happened or in saying that we are not yet ready. The challenge will not wait. Life does not look back. A week is more than enough time for us to decide whether or not to accept our destiny.
Believe something and the Universe is on its way to being changed. Because you’ve changed, by believing. Once you’ve changed, other things start to follow. Isn’t that the way it works?
Sometimes you need to scorch everything to the ground, and start over. After the burning the soil is richer, and new things can grow. People are like that, too. They start over. They find a way.
We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand.
Nothing changes instantaneously: in a gradually heating bathtub you’d be boiled to death before you knew it.
And that is how change happens. One gesture. One person. One moment at a time.
Nothing is so painful to the human mind as a great and sudden change.
We are not trapped or locked up in these bones. No, no. We are free to change. And love changes us. And if we can love one another, we can break open the sky.
Isn’t life exciting! Everything can change all of a sudden, and for no reason at all!
What you’re supposed to do when you don’t like a thing is change it. If you can’t change it, change the way you think about it. Don’t complain.
I am angry. We should all be angry. Anger has a long history of bringing about positive change.
