And I've been so happy now that the love of my life is back in my life that I've neglected diaryland. She sends this to me every morning while I'm working...just to keep me entertained, and I think she knows I like to see her name on my computer. She's so cute!!! *gush*
"Happiness is different from pleasure. Happiness has something to do
with struggling and enduring and accomplishing."
"Man's main task in life is to give birth to himself, to become what he
potentially is."
– Erich Fromm
Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary."
– Steve Jobs
Here is another quote - about the first one, I find it to be very much involved with the struggle I am having now after my accident. I know I need to put myself aside and just be myself, and I know that, but sometimes I might just do things because they are right. Well, to be honest, before my accident I went through that a little. I have always just been myself though, as ruptured as that has been. I have made mistakes in the past and I know that very well, but I have also made the mistake of not doing what I want. I think that if anything it should inspire you Violet. You need to forget everyone and the assumption you have made that you have to live up to someone else's expectations and just do what you truly want. I go back to your schooling, once again, and because that is very important. I don't know in what other way to tell you to set goals for yourself, and work towards them. Read this one once again and maybe it will open you up a little more, not to me but to yourself.
I love you
Lillian
