“Life would be tragic if it weren’t funny.” ~S.Hawking “All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make, the better.” ~R.W.Emerson "I believe every human has a finite number of heartbeats. I don't intend to waste any of mine." ~N.Armstrong “You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose.” ~Dr.Seuss “Live in the sunshine, swim the sea, drink the wild air.” ~R.W.Emerson "Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better." ~A.Einstein “Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the best relationship.” ~Buddha "... keep an untroubled spirit ... look things in the face and know them for what they are." ~M.Aurelius "The place to improve the world is first in one's own heart and head and hands." ~R.M.Pirsig "I am just a common man who is true to his beliefs." ~J.Wooden "It is not the failure of others to appreciate your abilities that should trouble you, but rather your failure to appreciate theirs." ~Confucius "Your thoughts become your words, Your words become your actions, Your actions become your habits, Your habits become your character, Your character becomes your destiny." ~M.Gandhi "There was another life that I might of had, but I am having this one." ~K.Ishiguro "To be away from home and yet to feel oneself everywhere at home ... The lover of life makes the whole world his family." ~C.Baudelaire "To see a World in a Grain of Sand And a Heaven in a Wild Flower, Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand And Eternity in an hour." ~W.Blake 🙏🏽 # neuro•divergent ANFJ (Asperger's Intuitive Feeling Judging); 'double empathy problem' withstanding #
