Loosen up. Relax. Except for rare life-and-death matters, nothing is as important as it first seems.

It is less important what you decide than it is that you decide.

The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why.

Seven billion people, and some of us have just had the best day of their lives. Today may have been the very worst day of yours. But take solace and celebrate this simple fact. It wasn’t your best day today, but it is on it’s way, because we all get lucky in turn.
