"Don't seek to have events happen as you wish, but wish to have them happen as they do happen, and all will be well with you." ••Epictetus

Have patience with all things - but first with yourself. Never confuse your mistakes with your value as a human being. You are a perfectly valuable, creative, worthwhile person simply because you exist. And no amount of triumphs or tribulations can ever change that.
-Happy birthday, Saint Francis de Sales
