Everything Happens for a Reason

I believe that everything happens for a reason.
People change so that you can learn to let go,
things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right,
you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself,
and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.
- Marilyn Monroe

I think "learn to trust no one but yourself" is much too cynical, but the rest is good advice.

Conventional people are roused to fury
by departure from convention,
largely because they regard such departure
as a criticism of themselves.
- Bertrand Russell

Real love is accepting other people the way they are
without trying to change them.
- don Miguel Ruiz
