If someone comes along and shoots an arrow into your heart,
it’s fruitless to stand there and yell at the person.
It would be much better to turn your attention
to the fact that there’s an arrow in your heart.

The planet does not need more successful people.
The planet desperately needs more peacemakers,
healers, restorers, storytellers and lovers of all kinds.

The more I think about it,
the more I realize there is
nothing more artistic than to love others.
