In Game of Thrones, Sansa remarks to her sister, Arya, that “the lone wolf dies but the pack survives” when talking about Winter. It is also said several times in the books, one time being a conversation between their father Ned, and Arya. The meaning behind this quote is that when Winter comes, the people of Winterfell must protect each other, survive, and share their strengths to make it through. If you’re like me, you

Routines can be a great help when it comes to managing your daily life. They allow you to plan and prepare for the days ahead, and therefore minimize the stress and confusion that can result from disorganization.

This quote is often attributed to Kurt Cobain, who was the front man for the grunge band Nirvana in the late 80s/early 90’s. However, a variation of it was published in the book Autumn Leaves by André Gide in 1950. There are always going to be haters who want to drag you down.

Life is a constant cycle of ebb and flow. There are periods of time when abundance and goodness are flowing freely, and also periods when things are fading and disappearing from your life, such as relationships, jobs, and money.
