6. The end of a melody is not its goal.
But, nonetheless, had the melody

8. Transitions
Change is situational. Transition is psychological.
Transitions start with letting go of what no longer
fits the life stage you are in.
~William Bridges

9. Transitions
To become something else, you have to stop
being what you are now… Even though it
sounds backwards, endings always come first.
~William Bridges

10. Transitions
The process of transformation is essentially a

Exhortation will not suffice to change anyone.

21. Habits
Could the young but realize how soon they will
become mere walking bundles of habits, they
would give more heed to their conduct while in
the plastic state.
~William James

27. Gratitude
A little while & you will be
