Lev Grossman: "The secret to happiness is to find something more important than you are and dedicate your life to it."

Always dream and shoot higher than you know you can do.

Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is just keep going.

You must learn to be patient. Patient with yourself and the people in this world. You must learn to slow down. To take some time to breathe, to notice, to appreciate what you have. Just trust that in the moment you really need an answer it will come to you clearly. You will know what you need to do, to say, to give. Believe in yourself, in the life you are leading. Trust that you can and will figure this all out. Give yourself the time and space to do that.
