King of the Birds, Lord of the Skies
Gather ye rose buds while ye may, old time is still a flying;
and this same rose that you see today, tomorrow will be dying.

Life Lessons

1. Life is a series of lessons and the world is your teacher.
You are not here to suffer but to be educated.

2. Life never gets simpler. You only learn to handle it better.

3. We live in a world where things are constantly changing.
Embrace changes and be adaptable.

4. Your life is a perfect reflection of your beliefs.
Events unfold according to your beliefs.
Change your beliefs and your life changes accordingly.
Believe it to see it, then you can see it and believe it.

5. The challenge of life is to appreciate everything and get attached to nothing.
Be detached but not disinterested.

6. Life does not have to be an endless struggle.
Let things flow. Be balanced. Don't be desperate.
Nature doesn't understand desperation. Nature seeks balance.

7. If you want something in life, give it away first.
When you want a smile, give your smile.
When you want affection, give affection.
When you want respect, give respect.

8. Don't focus on what is impossible.
Positive thinkers think about what is possible.
In concentrating on the possibilities, you make things happen.

9. Follow your heart and do what you love.
This does not guarantee an easy life, but an interesting life.
Your mission in life is not to be without problems.
Your mission is to get excited about life.

10. If there is something in life you don't want,
stop worrying about it and stop talking about it.
The energy you put in keeps it alive.
Withdraw your energy and it goes away.
When you let go of things, they let go of you.
