I always wanted to have my way. Perhaps it was control or maybe that’s the way I thought I could get what I wanted in life. Maybe it was a young way of thinking. When at last I began to settle for eighty percent of what I wanted, my life became richer, more fulfilled and expanded to much closer to what I not only wanted but what I could achieve.

He who settles doesn’t tangle, since ‘a bird in hand is better than two in the bush’. And I say that a woman’s counsel is bad, but he who won’t take it is mad. Cervantes, Don Quixote

Take the brick wall of the past and put it in the future and there is none.  Satoru
