Quotes to ponder:

"I thought control equals security equals happiness, up until the day when I took a close look at my life and found that nobody around me was smiling anymore."

"My mantra, therefore, is simple: Let go, have trust, and everything will be just right."

"I don't want my children to grow up in an environment where things don't flow, where creativity doesn't get sparked often, and where the predominant facial expression is a frown."
