Quotes to ponder:

"Life is a paradox, it is good and bad, it is fun and hard, it is filled with joy and sadness, it is incredibly overwhelming and sacred."

"If we can’t take responsibility for it, we do not have the power to improve it."

"Beliefs have the power to create and the power to destroy."
