Be Ready When the Luck Happens

by Ina Garten

Teenagers are trying to figure things out, and the process is usually one of trial and error, mostly error.

There’s a wonderful quote attributed to George Lucas: “We’re all living in cages with the door wide open.”

As a friend of mine who worked in advertising used to say, “It’s not what you say that counts, it’s what they hear.”

“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.”

you never know your good breaks from your bad ones.
