Be Ready When the Luck Happens

by Ina Garten

love traditional pursuits; I just want to do them my way and make my own decisions.

some things you think are important turn out to be not worth worrying about.

it’s hard to get support for a vision that’s seen as risky.

I also learned that it’s important to listen to advice and then decide if it’s true to who you are and what you’re trying to accomplish.

When the next comes along, I’ll be so grateful that the first one fell through.

a barrier to me isn’t a stop sign; it’s a call to action.

“Sometimes you have to trust that the hard times, the pain and the tragedies in life have purpose. They may make no sense at the time, may bring you to your knees and you will wonder why this hell is happening and if you’ll ever get through it. But trust is your trajectory, sending you along your path, and if you listen, learn, heal and grow along the way, things will one day make sense.”
