William Ernest Henley





OUT of the night that covers me,


Black as the Pit from pole to pole,


I thank whatever gods may be


For my unconquerable soul.





In the fell clutch of circumstance


I have not winced nor cried aloud.


Under the bludgeonings of chance


My head is bloody, but unbowed.





Beyond this place of wrath and tears


Looms but the Horror of the shade,


And yet the menace of the years


Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.





It matters not how strait the gate,


How charged with punishments the scroll,


I am the master of my fate:


I am the captain of my soul.





Works for me..
';Love one another.';





That's the essence of all spirituality. You could build a whole society on that one statement.

God grant me the serenity


to accept the things I cannot change;


courage to change the things I can;


and wisdom to know the difference.





Living one day at a time;


Enjoying one moment at a time;


Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;


Taking, as He did, this sinful world


as it is, not as I would have it;


Trusting that He will make all things right


if I surrender to His Will;


That I may be reasonably happy in this life


and supremely happy with Him


Forever in the next.


Amen.

To quote Jesus, to love the Lord God with all you heart, mind body and soul and to treat your neighbor as you would yourself.





Both seem to take care of lots of problems, for me anyway

This quote from Albert Einstein: ';Its not that I'm so much cleverer than the others. Its more that I stay with the problems for longer.';

';When you get to the end of all the light you know and it's time to step into the darkness of the unknown, faith is knowing that one of two things shall happen: either you will be given something solid to stand on, or you will be taught how to fly.'; Edward Teller
Some weeks ago, before my old man died he once said: '; Life is so expensive for it costs us to be dead... and how equally expensive death is, for it costs us our lives';. No matter how you analize this quote, you will probably end like me, not knowing why both are so expensive and why both are ahead of us...waiting either options to happen.
';God dwells within you as you.'; A quote from; Swami Muktananda Paramahamsa. ';The mind is not for thinking, the mind is for receiving thought.'; Given me from God.
Never make an important decision on one feeling, instead, combine all your instincts to form a conclusive and wise decision. Take chances based on your gut, it is the one thing that tells you when a risk is willing to take or not, its instincts are true in near seconds. In the same aspect, once instinct is derived, you must follow your heart, it is the one thing that will never lie to you. This heart leads into your soul, for it is the one thing that defines you as it knows you best. And finally, use your wisdom of all justly, wisdom of these is the one thing that can make you successful in life鈥檚 endeavors or a failure. Judge such success by that of virtue, love and happiness vice status and money, those are nothing more than perks. Such a task comes at no ease; however if we sit back and take a minute to think through, this system can lead many to the lives we desire. The best of which is when all aspects are applied simultaneously, but if a rash decision must be made, make it on the aspect you trust most at that time and adjust accordingly.
