“That’s simple,” says the old man. “They are the prisoners of their personal history. Everyone believes that the main aim in life is to follow a plan.

And that is why they forget their dreams.”
-Paulo Coelho

Life is too short, or too long, for me to allow myself the luxury of living it so badly.

The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.
-Mahatma Gandhi
