What is meant to be yours will eventually arrive; what is not meant for you will only deplete your energy. Believe that when a debt of kindness is owed to you, someone who cherishes you dearly will appear. Without greed, there are gifts; with heavy expectations, there are only losses. Hope for the attainable, wait for the possible, listen, observe, and go with the flow. Walk forward with composure.
