People will often tell you to be realistic when what they really mean is, don't make your life uncomfortable for my understanding of what is possible. There is nothing wrong with listening to good advice, but be careful who you allow to define the limits of your imagination. Some of the things that look unreasonable at the beginning become obvious only after someone has had the courage to do them. #phoenixjames

Sometimes the life you thought was falling apart was simply refusing to remain the life you had outgrown. We often call it failure while we're living through it, because we can't yet see what the ending is making room for. Not everything that leaves your life is a loss. Some things leave because they have finished teaching you who you are not. #phoenixjames

There comes a point in life when you stop trying to convince people who you are. Not because you've given up on being understood, but because you finally understand that some people need you to remain the person they decided you were. Your freedom begins when their misunderstanding no longer requires your correction. #phoenixjames
