Talking to the star
"Happiness is the consequence of personal effort. You fight for it, strive for it, insist upon it, and sometimes even travel the world looking for it. You have to participate relentlessly in the manifestations of your blessings. And once you have achieved a state of happiness, you must never become lax about maintaining it, you must make a mighty effort to keep swimming upward into that happiness forever, to stay afloat on top of it. (...) This is what I would like to hold on to. Please help me memorize this feeling of contentment and help me always support it." (Elizabeth Gilbert)
