Life is what we make it, always has been, always will be.
Life isn’t happening to you; life is responding to you. Life is your call! Every area of your life is your call. You are the creator of your life. You are the writer of your life story. You are the director of your life movie. You decide what your life will be – by what you give out.
Travelers, there is no path, paths are made by walking.
If opportunity doesn't knock, build a door.
Life doesn't just happen. You happen to life. You decide how you want to write your story.
You can't change where you come from, but you can change where you go from here. Just like a book. If you don't like the ending, you make up a new one.

You have to put yourself in a position to be lucky.
The basic fact is that no, this isn't ideal. Very few things are. Sometimes, you have to manufacture your own history. Give fate a push,so to speak.
I don't know that I think women have to throw out the fairy tale ending. I just think they have to decide what their fairy tale ending is - and not go with the standard one that everyone's told them they're supposed to have.
Your future is only big enough for you to walk through, not for you and your past to walk through.
