We become imprisoned by our memories, and that makes our lives wretched.

When a sense of dissatisfaction persists, that means it was placed there by God for one reason only: you need to change everything and move forward.

I was not I, I was nothing - and that seemed to me quite marvelous.

We have to be prepared for change.

Creatures like the sheep, that are used to traveling, know about moving on.

It isn't what you did in the past that will affect the present. It's what you do in the present that will redeem the past and thereby change the future.

Break a pact. Accept forgiveness. Make a bet.

When you travel, you experience, in a very practical way, the act of rebirth. You confront completely new situations, the day passes more slowly, and on most journeys you don't even understand the language the people speak.

It's always necessary to know when a stage of one's life has ended. If you stubbornly cling to it after the need has passed,you lose the joy and meaning of the rest. And you risk being shaken to your senses by God.

When faced with a loss, it is no use trying to recover what has gone. On the other hand, a great space has been opened up in your life - there it lies, empty, waiting to be filled with something new. At the moment of one's loss, contradictory as this might seem, one is being given a large slice of freedom.

How can one set these opposite states in harmony? There is only one way: through giving oneself completely. How does one give oneself? By forgetting the traumas of the past, and by not forming expectations about the future - in other words, the orgasm. How can one do this? Very simply: by not being afraid to err.

Don't think about what you've left behind.
