  I've found that that realization takes an awful lot of the pressure off. Why worry what people think of you when you finally realize they're not thinking of you at all. 
  Took me decades to finally realize my life has no grand purpose; that I wasn't placed here to be anyone's hero; that I wasn't created to make big changes in the world. 
  If this world is a salad, then most of us are just ingredients. Myself I'm a healthy leafy green, nothing more, nothing less.
