So, what is this thing? Man? Woman? It is a being with the power to disobey. Alone among all the creatures we have free will. We hang suspended between the clarity of the angels and the desires of the beasts. Hashem gave us choice, which is both a privilege and a burden. We must then choose the tangled life we live.

Life's short, Kate. You gotta do what makes you happy. I don't wanna have regrets just because I didn't do what I wanted to do.

Because when you smile, no matter how sad you feel, it's like telling the world to "bug off! I will fight! I can do this!"

When I was little, my grandmother, she used to say: "You like because, and you love despite." . You like someone because of all of their qualities and you love someone despite some of their qualities.

A lot of times in life, we don't get what we want, we don't always end up where we hope to be and we don't end up being who we expect to be. Its ok because as we see how far we've come along in life I've realized that success isn't always mean being the best or having the most, it's about being happy with what you have & with what life brings in your way. It's about learning to accept when we are less yet always striving to be better. Maybe then, we can all be truly successful.
