"I Figured out what living in the now means to me. It isn't isolated moments on a checklist. It's not meditating or drinking a kale smoothie. Now is the time when you look hard at everything, weigh it, and then take the next step. Now is everything that happened before, leading to everything that might someday be possible. Which makes Now this crazy-powerful things, right? It's the ultimate hybrid. And it's different for everyone because it's my specific past balanced with my own potential. To live in the now, I have to respect everything from before while at the same exact time opening my heart to everything I might change so I can create the future I want. Now is the ultimate tightrope walker, the sweet spot in tennis, the snowplow... Now is the choice right before next."
"I may have been given faulty information. Apparently, you can do your best and not achieve your goal. Turns out, you can't do anything just because you set your mind to it. Which changes things, doesn't it."
"Do we dep down know who we are in the world? How we affect other people? We must have an inkling, right? Based on the way other people move to surround or avoid us? Maybe some of us don't care. Or maybe we can only know if we choose to be honest with ourselves and stop pointing fingers in the opposite direction. The world is a mirror that reflects us, but having courage to look must be one of the hardest things we do as humans. Because it's not always pretty what's staring back. Sometimes it's a scared, exhausted mess who would rather hide in the mountains than deal with the aftermath of their own perfectionism. Still, we have to look if we want things to change, right?"
