There is a fine line between perseverance and insanity.
At what point have you tried your best,
and it's time to do something different?
It's a balance - a paradox.

as soon as something gets difficult,
your life won't work,
but if you keep tilting at windmills -
madly trying the same thing again and again,
your life also won't work.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

although it can certainly be experienced.
But experience is not a definition.

God is the ultimate dance.
- Osho

Those who are successful and happy earn their own
self-respect and self-esteem.

The shepherd drives the wolf from the sheep's throat,
for which the sheep thanks the shepherd as a liberator,
while the wolf denounces him for the same act

upon a definition of the word liberty;
and precisely the same difference
prevails today among us human creatures

to receiving whatever life throws at us -
with Gratitude. Have NO Expectations of life.
