Optimism is a happiness magnet.

When you enter those places of trust, or power, dream a little before you think.

Open to whatever you experience without fighting. Let it be present just as it is. Let go of the battle.

Resilience — the ability to brush off pain.

Art is a language which anneals individuals to each other through experiences that are uniquely human.

In art and dream may you proceed with abandon. In life may you proceed with balance and stealth.

I do not think it worth while to wait for enjoyment until there is some real opportunity for it.
