The Fairhaven Chronicles Boxed Set Quotes

“Masters become masters because they practice in the little moments. Every pause, every moment to yourself is an opportunity to try again. Every tiny shift matters, and the more you practice, the better you will become. Besides, if not now, when?”

“There’s an old saying that in order to be successful I have to first believe I am capable of it – before it even shows up. That without that inner belief I’ll make small decisions without even knowing it that can make it harder to become successful. There’s that hindsight thing again and from my perch, two and a half years later – I can see a lot of those little places.”

“This body is a loaner I’ll have to give back at some point and how I treat it will play a part in how long I get to use it and how much use I get out of it. That has really hit home lately. But I don’t need to do any of it perfectly, or as well as it seems someone else is doing, or even great every single day. I just have to try and occasionally ask myself, is this still what you want? And then adapt, change and head out again.”

“I’ve had to reprogram the idea that if I can do it, I should be doing it and change it to – where is the best use of my time and skills. And, I’ve changed my ‘dreaming of the future’ from wondering what could go wrong to imagining what could go right and budgeting for just in case. Even that changes how I make decisions. Instead of protecting from I’m planning for something. It’s taken some time and a willingness to just be uncomfortable on some days rather than do something short term to make me feel better about a dire future that probably wouldn’t have happened. Plus, it’s easier to recognize opportunities when they arrive if that’s what I’ve been picturing all along. Added bonus, what I really want – to maintain rather than expand – has become easier to see and even execute.”

“Three brown horses thundered in circles in a nearby pen, panicked by the flames and running in circles to avoid a danger that wasn't even a minor threat to them. Idiot creatures. Not unlike humans.”
