Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers.
The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently.
They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo.

change

You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About
the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things.
They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as
the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough
to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.

Why do you go away? So that you can come back. So that you
can see the place you came from with new eyes and extra colors.
And the people there see you differently, too. Coming back to
where you started is not the same as never leaving.

If people refuse to look at you in a new light and they can only
see you for what you were, only see you for the mistakes you've
made, if they don't realize that you are not your mistakes, then
they have to go.

Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don't

resist them; that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let
things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.

For what its worth: its never too late or, in my case, too early
to be whoever you want to be. Theres no time limit, stop
whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are
no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I
hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you.
I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with
a different point of view. I hope you live a life youre proud of. If you
find that youre not, I hope you have the courage to start all over again.

When we least expect it, life sets us a challenge to test our

courage and willingness to change; at such a moment, there is
no point in pretending that nothing has happened or in saying
that we are not yet ready. The challenge will not wait. Life does
not look back. A week is more than enough time for us to decide whether
or not to accept our destiny.

Therefore, dear Sir, love your solitude and try to sing out with
the pain it causes you. For those who are near you are far
away... and this shows that the space around you is beginning to
grow vast.... be happy about your growth, in which of course you
can't take anyone with you, and be gentle with those who stay behind;
be confident and calm in front of them and don't torment them with
your doubts and don't frighten them with your faith or joy, which they
wouldn't be able to comprehend. Seek out some simple and true feeling

of what you have in common with them, which doesn't necessarily have
to alter when you yourself change again and again; when you see them,
love life in a form that is not your own and be indulgent toward those
who are growing old, who are afraid of the aloneness that you trust....
and don't expect any understanding; but believe in a love that is being
stored up for you like an inheritance, and have faith that in this love
there is a strength and a blessing so large that you can travel as far as
you wish without having to step outside it.
