You wouldn’t be you if you didn’t have all the trials and triumphs in your life. Love who you are and you’ll love the journey you’ve traveled.
Don’t be afraid of getting scars. They are the badges you earn on your way to the stars.
A Bowl of Roses
William Ernest Henley
It was a bowl of roses:
There in the light they lay,
Languishing, glorying, glowing
Their life away.
And the soul of them rose like a presence,
Into me crept and grew,
And filled me with something—some one—
O, was it you ?
“he important thing is not what we write but how we write, and in my opinion the modern writer must be an adventurer above all, willing to take every risk, and be prepared to founder in his effort if need be. In other words we must write dangerously.” ~ James Joyce
The Masks of Love
Alden Nowlan
I come in from a walk
With you
And they ask me
If it is raining.
I didn’t notice
But I’ll have to give them
The right answer
Or they’ll think I’m crazy.
“Have the courage to say no. Have the courage to face the truth. Do the right thing because it is right. These are the magic keys to living your life with integrity.” ~ W. Clement Stone
Joe: “I at a restaurant and the food was fit for a king. I took everything I couldn’t eat, home.”
Pete: “What did you do with the leftovers?”
Joe: “As soon as I got home, I hollered, “Here, King.””
Do you see the world as a fearful place? Or, do you see the world as full of wonder and good things?
Do you see the challenges you face as overwhelming? Or, do you see the hidden possibilities that lie within them?
Change your view, change your life.
“Writing is the hardest work in the world. I have been a bricklayer and a truck driver, and I tell you – as if you haven’t been told a million times already – that writing is harder. Lonelier. And nobler and more enriching.” ~ Harlan Ellison
