Stray Animals This is the beauty of being alone toward the end of summer: a dozen stray animals asleep on the porch in the shade of my feet, and the smell of leaves burning in another neighborhood. It is late morning, and my forehead is alive with shadows, some bats rock back and forth to the rhythm of my humming,  the mimosa flutters with bees. This is a house of unwritten poems, this is where I am unborn. James Tate (1970)

Overtime: 

"Explore life from a position of power.

When you believe, "Even if I stay single, I'll still have a great life" ... then you are in a much better position to enter a relationship.

When you believe, "Even if I don't get into this school, I'll still have a great life" ... then you are in a much better position to apply.

When you believe, "Even if I don't succeed with this business, I'll still have a great life" ... then you are in a much better position to give it a try.

Sure, you may want the relationship to work or the business to be a success—and you should give it your best effort—but also realize that if it doesn't work out, you'll be fine. There are many ways to live a great life."

James Clear
