The key to your happiness is to own your slippers, own who you are, own how you
look, own your family, own the talents you have, and own the ones you don't. If you keep saying your slippers aren't yours, then you'll die searching, you'll die bitter, always feeling you were promised more. Not only our actions, but also our omissions, become our destiny.

We are all fixing what is broken. It is the task of a lifetime. We'll leave much unfinished for the next generation.
Not only our actions, but also our omissions, become our destiny.
