You'll be on your way up! You'll be seeing great sights! You'll join the high fliers who soar to high heights.

Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind. Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened.
Interpretation
What this quote means
Be true to yourself and express your feelings; genuine people will accept you as you are. Focus on the positive memories instead of the sadness of loss.
This quote encourages individuals to embrace their true selves and openly express their feelings, emphasizing that the opinions of those who don't accept you are irrelevant. It also suggests that instead of grieving over what has ended, one should celebrate the experiences and joy they brought into life. The essence of both parts of the quote lies in authenticity and appreciation for positive moments.

Mindfulness is attentiveness, moment to moment. What's happening right now and what's coming up in me in response to what's happening right now. Importantly, this is in the service of being able to choose wisely so that I avoid complicating my own life and the lives of others.
