The Girl Behind the mask

We outgrow people, places, and things as we unfold. We may be saddened when old friends say their piece and leave our lives... but let them go. They were at a different stage and looking in a different direction No man who continues to add something to the material, intellectual and moral wellbeing of the place in which he lives is left long without proper reward. The way is not in the sky. The way is in the heart. What would it be like if you lived each day, each breath, as a work of art in progress? Imagine that you are a Masterpiece unfolding, every second of every day a work of art taking form with every breath. A man cannot be comfortable without his own approval.

You have to believe in yourself. Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart. Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens. Inspiration is the impact of a fact on a prepared mind. There is no such thing as a problem without a gift for you in its hands. You seek problems because you need their gifts. Some people are always grumbling because roses have thorns. I am thankful thorns have roses One can never consent to creep when one feels an impulse to soar. The rung of a ladder was never meant to rest upon, but only to hold a mans foot long enough to enable him to put the other somewhat higher. Listen to the silence as it echoes around you. Ancient spirits dance to it.
The key is not the will to win... everybody has that. It is the will to prepare to win that is important. There is no such thing as a problem without a gift for you in its hands. You seek problems because you need their gifts. We do not know who we are until we see what we can do. With our thoughts we make the world. There are always two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.
