Experience

Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace, and gratitude.

Life experience brings out different emotions and different perspectives on things. I just want to be constantly evolving.
Life is not always easy to live, but the opportunity to do so is a blessing beyond comprehension. In the process of living, we will face struggles, many of which will cause us to suffer and to experience pain.
I've run into people in my life who were so dramatic; people who are so extreme and so frustrating to be around that you end up thinking about them and talking about them for literally years after your experience with them is over.

As children, our imaginations are vibrant, and our hearts are open. We believe that the bad guy always loses and that the tooth fairy sneaks into our rooms at night to put money under our pillow. Everything amazes us, and we think anything is possible. We continuously experience life with a sense of newness and unbridled curiosity.
The way we experience the world around us is a direct reflection of the world within us.
I spent my 20s working in patient care at a large university hospital, an experience that has informed all my work and has given me a lot of human observation to draw on.

Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.
I don't know about changing my perspective, because motherhood is such a glorious blessing and I am very thankful for that. It's such a beautiful experience. I so strongly recommend it. It's bliss, love and fulfillment of another level.
Year's end is neither an end nor a beginning but a going on, with all the wisdom that experience can instill in us.
'Smart, Funny and Black' is about celebrating, critiquing and learning about black culture, black history, and the black experience.

The prism through which you experience life is so unique. There is no objective experience.
