Always take a CHANCE.
The end result may not always be what you hoped for but that's fine...
At least, you will never go through life ...
...wondering "What if... and "If only...."
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.

True Love
The real test of true love is having all the things go wrong
but still having a special way to love
despite of all the wrong things that may happen.

Strength vs Courage
It takes strength to stand guard, It takes courage to let down your guard.
It takes strength to conquer, It takes courage to surrender.
It takes strength to be certain, It takes courage to have doubt.
It takes strength to fit in, It takes courage to stand out.
It takes strength to feel a friend's pain, It takes courage to feel your own pain.
It takes strength to hide your own pains, It takes courage to show them.
It takes strength to endure abuse, It takes courage to stop it.
It takes strength to stand alone, It takes courage to lean on another.
It takes strength to love, It takes courage to be loved.
It takes strength to survive, It takes courage to live.
If you feel you have neither,
May the world hug you today with its warmth, and love.
And may the wind carry a voice that tells you there is a friend
Sitting in another corner of the world wishing you well !

Life....
Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there, they serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson or help figure out who you are or who you want to become. You never know who these people may be; your roommate, neighbor, professor, long lost friend, lover or even a complete stranger who, when you lock eyes with them, you know that very moment that they will affect your life in some profound way.
And sometimes things happen to you and at the time they may seem horrible, painful and unfair, but in reflection you realize that without overcoming those obstacles you would have never realized your potential, strength, will power or heart.
Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by means of good or bad luck. Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of your soul. Without these small tests, if they be events, illnesses or relationships, life would be like a smoothly paved, straight, flat road to nowhere. Safe and comfortable but dull and utterly pointless.
The people you meet who affect your life and the successes and downfalls you experience, they are the ones who create who you are. Even the bad experiences can be learned from... those lessons are the hardest and probably the most important ones.
If someone hurts you, betrays you or breaks your heart, forgive them, for they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious to who you open your heart to.
If someone loves you, love them back unconditionally, not only because they love you, but because they are teaching you to love and opening your heart and eyes to things you would have never seen or felt without them.
Make every day count. Appreciate every moment and take from it everything that you possibly can, for you may never be able to experience it again.
Talk to people you have never talked to before, and actually listen. Let yourself fall in love, break free and set your sights high. Hold your head up because you have every right to. Tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself, for if you don't believe in yourself, no one else will believe in you either.
Don't forget prayers and asking God for the strength to overcome the every day trials, as He will strengthen you. You need only to ask.
You can make of your life anything you wish. Create your own life and then go out and live it with absolutely no regrets. Most importantly if you love someone tell them, for you never know what tomorrow may have in store.
And learn a lesson in life each day you live.
Today is the tomorrow you were worried about yesterday. Was it worth it?

The Wind Beneath My Wings
The Pessimistic complains about the wind,
The Optimistic hopes that the wind will change,
The Realistic changes the direction of the sail...
But The EagleBoy Soar above the wind...cos
When he feels the current under his powerful wings,
He can feel the pleasure of his Designer and Maker....
Becos He was Made to Soar!
