Advice
My advice? Follow your heart, do what you love and let the rest take care of itself, because in the end that's all you have and that's all you can do. Everything else will happen anyway and little, if anything, you can do will change it.

Sorry
Sorry never says enough. But it's all we have to offer. Sorry never expresses the depth of our sorrow, our deepest feelings, our most heart-felt thoughts. But it's all we have to say. Sorry never understands who it is said to, because we can never know what they thought or felt. But it's all we know. One word. Never enough. But it's all we have.

Not far apart
Is an athetist that much different than a Taoist?
"An atheist loves his fellow man instead of god. An atheist believes that heaven is something for which we should work now – here on earth for all men together to enjoy. An atheist believes that he can get no help through prayer but that he must find in himself the inner conviction and strength to meet life, to grapple with it, to subdue it, and enjoy it. An atheist believes that only in a knowledge of himself and a knowledge of his fellow man can he find the understanding that will help to a life of fulfillment. He seeks to know himself and his fellow man rather than to know a god. An atheist believes that a hospital should be built instead of a church. An atheist believes that a deed must be done instead of a prayer said. An atheist strives for involvement in life and not escape into death. He wants disease conquered, poverty vanquished, war eliminated. He wants man to understand and love man. He wants an ethical way of life. He believes that we cannot rely on a god or channel action into prayer nor hope for an end of troubles in a hereafter. He believes that we are our brother’s keepers and are keepers of our own lives; that we are responsible persons and the job is here and the time is now."
Definition of atheism given to the Supreme Court of the United States in the case of Murray v. Curlett, 374 U.S. 203, 83 S. Ct. 1560, 10 L.Ed.2d (MD, 1963)
If a Taoist knows God is in his heart and mind, and the road is to find peace through the God that he carrys with him, how is that different from an athetist except the latter doesn't know a God but believes in something he doesn't know but believes? Can an athetist believe in a greater God which doesn't define but challenge each man? Challenge to discover the whole and peace? Challenge to be a better man on earth?
Is an athetist's challenge any different than a Taoist's God, only the former doesn't know and the latter believes?

Simply
Simply because you think or say something is does not establish or ensure that it is, only it is in your mind, but not in reality or the world. It is means it is for everyone as known and exists. Whether you agree or not or whether you want it to be something else does not change the fact it is. Simply it is, and not what you want to think or believe it is, but that it by itself is. Just is.

Gotta love this
Sometimes I wonder if I'm missing something or not, but there are times I love some statements. Like?
When the weather person said, "There's a 100% chance of precipitation."
Ok, but 100% isn't a chance but a certainty. It's going to rain. Kinda' like, "There's a 100% chance you will die sometime in your life. Yeah, like at the end of it. But hey, just maybe there's a zero chance of something else?
