First, core values. Second, never change nor give up. Third, do your best, always. Then, you can fall and stand up, stronger than before. This is Life
That life can begin to be yours right now.
You’re only a moment away from being more positive
And effective than you’ve ever been.
You’re only a moment away
From living life at its highest level.
The only thing holding you back
Is your choice to keep yourself back.
That’s a choice you can change right now.
You’ve gone long enough evading
And avoiding your best possibilities.
Now it’s time to...
Yesterday is no more tomorrow is uncertain Friend, show your acting before falls the curtain! Today is the reliable day: plinth for your tomorrows if you rise to the occasion you will not meet sorrows Days wasted in slumber can hardly be revoked but to make up losses efforts might be stoked If you don’t hark earnest calls of the rising sun in the east, your day will remain fallow your...
Time is a gift that keeps ticking away And like a flower, it will never stay It is the leaf that falls and decays A record of the song you used to play. The end of a story that has been told Like the sunset of day as night unfolds Before long you find that you are old For Time is like sand you cannot hold.
There is only one important point you must keep in your mind and let it be your...

Everything on earth has purpose;
Everything on earth is connected;
Everything on earth is to be embraced.

somewhere, no one knows just where, there’s a treasure to be found; someplace, no one knows just what place, there’s a paradise, waiting to be found. sometime, no one knows just what time, there’s a beauty no artist can ever paint; somehow, no one knows just how, you’ll come to know a person who’s a saint. when you find the place called where, when you find...

The meaning of life:
To give more than you recieve To love more than you are loved To understand more than you ignore To smile more than you frown To answer more than you question The meaning of life is to live.
The mountains, green and white, Are frosted this morning. The grey of the sky spilled over, Muting their beauty for just a moment. The haze of the grey, Joins with the icy glaze of white, And frosts the trees with, A touch of ice. In spite of the frozen cold of the winter morn, A breeze dares to breathe, A breath forlorn. And clumps of snow, Blow off of branches, Freed at last to move, ...
Let the flame within your heart show its gleam Like the brightest star shining in the darkest night Feel your passion begin to ignite Ignore the echoes of negativity And purse discovering your destiny Always look forward and never look back Keep regrets and past mistakes off the track Fear not the unknown Embrace it and show some backbone Setbacks may happen and occur on your way And you start to...
I strive to find a better me, a person just and true. I want to live and not just be, to be decent through and through. I need to be a stronger me, both in body and in soul. It’s not a whim, it needs to be, for me to feel whole. I will be that better me, and that better me will stay. I will be better, they’ll see, it’s time to seize the day!
