We don’t rise to the level of our expectations, we fall to the level of our training.

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
Am I as spontaneously kind to God as I used to be, or am I only expecting God to be kind to me? Am I full of the little things that cheer His heart over me, or am I whimpering because things are going hardly with me? There is no joy in the soul that has forgotten what God prizes.

I think most of us become nicer as we get older, less judgmental, less full of certitude; life tends to knock a few corners of us as we go through. Cancer, divorce, teenagers, and other plagues make us give up on expecting ourselves – or life – to be perfect, which is a real relief.
For me, I think ‘Jem’ fans were expecting a remake of the cartoon, and the movie really is inspired by the cartoon based in a 2015, modern-day setting. It is going to be very different, but it’s also going to be very familiar as well.

Altruism is one of the most fundamentally social impulses, and doing things for others without expecting anything in return is core to what makes us human.

Promise me we’ll stay together, okay? His eyes are once again the clear blue of a perfectly transparent pool. They are eyes to swim in, to float in, forever. “You and me”. “I promise”.
