The adjuration to be "normal" seems shockingly repellent to me; I see neither hope nor comfort in sinking to that low level. I think it is ignorance that makes people think of abnormality only with horror and allows them to remain undismayed at the proximity of "normal" to average and mediocre. For surely anyone who achieves anything is, a priori, abnormal.

Consciousness set goal independently, achieves them through will and evaluation of results

Every day, you get the opportunity to change your life. Change what you do not want. Change what makes you unhappy.

I can't do nothing. Just put it off. And that don't do no good. I reckon it belong to me. I reckon what I going to get ain't no more than mine.

You can do the required-work by grace.

Nothing that happens to you was meant to be. The only thing about you that was meant to be is you. Blaze your own trail.
