Rather than steering your life to avoid surprises, aim directly for them.
The past is a ghost, the future a dream, and all we ever have is now.
Life is too short to wake up with regrets. So love the people who treat you right, forget about the ones who don’t, and believe that everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.
