A Quote by Jose Ortega y Gasset

A man with a clear head looks at life directly, realizes that everything is problematic, and feels himself lost.  And this is the simple truth, that to be alive is to feel oneself lost. And he who accepts this has already begun to find himself, to be on solid ground.

i love this quote! I am just beginning college after several years away and this speaks volumes to me. I spent alot of my 20’s lost for one reason or the other. it is recently that i have been able to begin to find my way back to solid ground. some days its an uphill climb :) But this quote has reminded me that I can’t let myself be overwhelmed and see every task as a problem . I can accept that I am striving to do and be my best everyday and I can’t let little problems consume me anymore. Thanl you for the inspiration :))
