If you peel back the layers of your life-the frenzy, the noise-stillness is waiting. That stillness is you.
Live life and take chances. Believe that everything happens for a reason and don't regret. Love to the fullest and you will find true happiness in life. Realize that things go wrong and people change, but things do go on. Sometimes things weren't meant to be. What is supposed to happen will work its way out.
The future is full of possibility, whether you make one tiny change - or a whole invigorating, thrilling, inspiring bunch of them.
Find the courage to seek out your big dream, regardless of what anyone else says or thinks.

People make things happen. All the rest is just window dressing
