In 1955, Robert Frost — the only poet ever to receive four Pulitzer Prizes — gave the commencement address at New Hampshire’s Dartmouth College. In his speech to the graduating students, he gave some advice that on first impression smacks of rather unpoetic conformity: “Always fall in with what you’re asked to accept.” But Frost wasn’t recommending blind acceptance. He told the students to take what they were given and remake it in their own way. It reminds us to embrace the circumstances we encounter in life and creatively shape them to our own purpose, rather than stubbornly trying to resist them. “My object in life,” Frost explained, “has been to hold my own with whatever’s going — not against, but with — to hold my own.” http://dlvr.it/TMZmGC

For a lyric sung to the sky by a crooked-nosed puppet who’s possibly an alien, this is a striking expression of the joy of connecting. The song, “I’m Going to Go Back There Someday,” was written by composer and songwriter Paul Williams and performed by Gonzo (David Goelz) in “The Muppet Movie.” In this context, Gonzo twists the emotional paradox even further, as he’s longingly awaiting a friend he’s yet to meet. Blending hope and grief, he reveals a sense of connection with a kind of presence — a kindred spirit — just beyond his reach. Years later, the presence he longed for finally emerges in the movie “Muppets From Space” — it’s his home planet, reaching out after having tracked him down. His emotional journey reflects a universal desire for connection. It assures us of old friends looking to finally meet us, serving as a reminder that ultimately, we’re never alone. http://dlvr.it/TMPHFh

This line from Jane Austen’s 1815 novel “Emma,” spoken by the charming but impulsive Frank Churchill, captures a universal truth: Too much planning can get in the way of actually enjoying life. Austen, renowned for her shrewd insight into human behavior and the quiet frustrations of women in a rigid society, often explored how societal expectations and overthinking can stifle real happiness. In this moment, she reminds us how easy it is to miss out on joy by obsessing over timing, appearances, or some imagined ideal. Her words gently nudge us to stop overpreparing, quit waiting for the perfect time or opportunity, and allow ourselves to be happy whenever happiness shows up. http://dlvr.it/TMNF3z

Author, critic, activist, philosopher, humanist: Susan Sontag was one of America’s most influential intellectuals. Though she published dozens of books, plays, monographs, and films on a vast variety of topics, from photography to AIDS to communism, she thought of herself as a student all her life. In her journals, Sontag recorded her thoughts, notes on her works in progress, and fragments from her voracious reading. This note from October 1973 reads like an instruction to herself. When the whole world is out there, just waiting to be studied, one mustn’t hesitate. http://dlvr.it/TMLcFb

Anyone considering a career change might tire of people telling them, “Do what you love, and the rest will follow.” How can you be so sure? What counts as “love”? This is work we’re talking about! For anyone looking less for a passion project and more for what they’d be really good at, author Amy Krouse Rosenthal tweeted this advice in 2013. It’s deceptively Zen: If you watch your mind at work, you’ll start to notice patterns of thought, which will show you where your strengths are. It’ll also be good practice for when you do finally land that new gig, since good work does — always and necessarily — require focus and attention. http://dlvr.it/TMKrv3
