PATIENCE
The only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work, and the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking, and don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking, don't settle. #<Author:0x00007f30fb25c2a8>

STRENGTH
To be whole. To be complete. Wildness reminds us what it means to be human, what we are connected to rather than what we are separate from. #<Author:0x00007f30fb398b80>
