Undefeatable

If I were asked to give what I consider the single most useful bit of advice for all humanity it would be this: Expect trouble as an inevitable part of life and when it comes, hold your head high, look it squarely in the eye and say, "I will be bigger than you. You cannot defeat me."
Ann Landers

25

So tomorrow I'm turning 25!
25 and stronger then I've ever been before,
I have a job that challenges me
A boy that gives me a little bit of heaven
I live with friends that don't tear at my heart
I have a car, a home and a heart
I have my dreams
I have the power to create a future that is better then my past
I have hope and my humanity
I have a unceasing unquenchable desire for more
I have the ability to love, to give, to care
With all this I am unstoppable
What more could a girl want

Gone are the days when you had to make a million dollars before you could be worthy of donating to a cause, or you had to be classified as a world class surgeon to be qualified to use your skills to benefit someone in need.
If you’re living in the 21st century then you’re in a time where anything is possible! A time where if you have 2 hands and a mind you have all the power you need to be a force for good is this world.
Today all this world needs to effect change is you! So find out what have to give; your time, skills or influence and use it to bring good to a world that needs it now more than ever.
Everyone has something to give! Find out what that is and share it with the world.

I, with a deep instinct, choose a man who compels my strength, who makes enormous demands on me, who does not doubt my courage or my toughness, who does not believe me naive or innocent, who has the courage to treat me like a woman. - Anais Nin

Stay awhile.... cos when you go, this dream will end.

My teaching is love-oriented. I can drop the word God very easily—there is no problem—but I cannot drop the word love. If I have to choose between the words love and God, I will choose love; I will forget all about God, because those who know love are bound to know God. But it is not vice versa: Those who think about God and philosophize about God may never know about love—and will never know about God, either.

~OSHO~

To surrender dreams - this may be madness; to seek treasure where there is only trash. To give up hope of a perfect world, because we live in an imperfect one - that is insanity. To love only those who've loved you -- to trust only those who've earned it -- Too much sanity may be madness! But maddest of all --to see life as it is and not as it should be.

Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.

Helen Keller

We've all heard about an illness in central Africa called sleeping sickness. What we should also know is that a similar disease exists that attacks the soul. It's very dangerous because the early stages often go unnoticed. At the first sign of indifference or lack of enthusiasm, take note! That only preventive against this disease is the realization that the soul suffers, suffers greatly, when we force it to live superficially. The soul loves all things beautiful and deep.

Paulo Coelho, The Winner Stands Alone

Meet me at the corner, and I'll whisper my dreams into your ear, we'll laugh at the jokes life plays on us, and we'll let each know that it's just a little while longer, till we find the road that doesn't have a bad ending.
Asha Daniels

I believe out of all the things in the world, more then money, then fame, more then success, or even more then helping the less fortunate. I believe that the greatest purpose is to be loved, and to love, and that sole reason, is what makes the rest of this life worth living. This I truly believe.

“Pitiful is the person who is afraid of taking risks. Perhaps this person will never be disappointed or disillusioned; perhaps she won't suffer the way people do when they have a dream to follow. But when the person looks back-she will hear her heart”
Paulo Coelho

The world needs dreamers and the world needs doers. But above all, the world needs dreamers who do. ~Sarah Ban Breathnach, Simple Abundance: A Daybook of Comfort and Joy, 1996

Still, courage, my friend.

Still, all is not lost and you are not yet done.

Still, there are fires to burn in the darkness and light to cast amongst the shadows.

Still, there are moments that must be taken, fighting and spitting to the ground.

Still, nothing has killed us yet.

Still, the sky smiles on the brave.

Still, have the strength to try and hold the sun in the palm of your hand, once more.

Still, ever burning.

Still, the most beautiful things come from beneath the ground.

Still, the light is cast from the darkest of places.

Still, we labour on under the cover of stars.

Still, we know the truth rides high in our chests.

Still, the world has yet to end, no matter how hard any of us try.

Still.

Until we are still.

"The more I think it over, the more I feel that there is nothing more truly artistic than to love people." --Vincent Van Gogh

You never quit on your music. No matter what happens. Cuz anytime something bad happens to you, that's the one place you can escape to and just let it go. Louis Connelly

Magic

You say the reason things fall to the ground is because of gravity.

I say that gravity is a word, a name you gave to a small aspect of the magic that surrounds you on a daily basis.

Electricity is another name for magic. Wind is another name for magic. Water is another name for magic. Love is another name for magic.

We all live in a magical place.

Mine

You tell me that everything is rented. That even my time, is borrowed. Well, sir, at least my thoughts are my own.

Love

"I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear."--Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929–1968)

I don't regret the painful times; I bare my scars as if they were medals. I know that freedom has a high price, as high as that of slavery; the only difference is that you pay with pleasure and a smile, even when that smile is dimmed by tears. Paulo Coelho The Zahir.
