If you follow your bliss,
doors will open for you that wouldn't have opened for anyone else.

Farewell My Friend
It was beautiful as long as it lasted
The journey of my life.
I have no regrets whatsoever
save the pain I'll leave behind.
Those dear hearts who love and care...
And the strings pulling at the heart and soul...
The strong arms that held me up
When my own strength let me down.
At every turning of my life
I came across good friends,
Friends who stood by me,
Even when the time raced me by.
Farewell, farewell my friends
I smile and bid you goodbye.
No, shed no tears for I need them not
All I need is your smile.
If you feel sad do think of me
for that's what I'll like
when you live in the hearts
of those you love, remember then
you never die.
- Gitanjali Ghei

A man too busy to take care of his health is like

or if we're all just floatin' around accidental-like on a breeze.
But I, I think maybe it's both.

If you think you are beaten, you are.
If you think you dare not, you don't.
If you'd like to win, but think you can't
It's almost a cinch you won't.
Life's battles don't always go to the stronger or faster man;
But soon or late the man who wins is the one who thinks he can.
- Anonymous

We are formed and molded by our thoughts.
Those whose minds are shaped by selfless thoughts

as though everything depended on it.
Yet our opinions have no permanence;
like autumn and winter, they gradually pass away.

whether to be like everybody else the rest of your life,
or to make a virtue of your peculiarities.

Like a Rose, I Thrive -
Blessed With Both My Thorns and My Blooms.

If I could tell the world just one thing
it would be we're all okay,
and not to worry cause worry is wasteful
and useless in times like these.
I won't be made useless.
I won't be idle with despair,
I will gather myself around my faith.
Light does the darkness most fear.
- Jewel

The movie character Forrest Gump describing life

but whatever it is, it will be sweet.
