“Writing is a form of therapy; sometimes I wonder how all those, who do not write, compose, or paint can manage to escape the madness, the melancholia, the panic fear, which is inherent in a human condition” Graham Greene

   

English novelist, short-story writer, playwright, and journalist, 1904-1991


 

"The highest state of Love is not a relationship at all, it is simply a state of your Being.

Just as trees are green, a lover is loving. They are not green for particular persons, it is not that when you come they become green. The flower goes on spreading it's fragrance whether anybody comes or not, whether anybody appreciates or not. The flower does not start releasing its fragrance when it sees that a great poet is coming by - "Now this man will appreciate, now this man will be able to understand who I am.". And it does not close its doors when it sees that a stupid, idiotic person is passing there - insensitive, dull, a politician or something like that. It does not close itself - "What is the point? Why cast pearls before swine?". No, the flower goes on spreading its fragrance.

It is a state of being, not a relationship..." - Osho

 

“Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.”

Confucius
My Mum gave me this on a book mark when I was 12, it was with me in my pencil case for every exam untill I left University.

 
 
If you think you are beaten, you are,
If you think you dare not, you don’t.
If you like to win, but you think you can’t,
It is almost certain you won’t.
If you think you’ll lose, you’re lost,
For out in the world we find,
Success begins with a fellow’s will.
It’s all in the state of mind.

If you think you are outclassed, you are,
You’ve got to think high to rise,
You’ve got to be sure of yourself before
You can ever win a prize.
Life’s battles don’t always go
To the stronger or faster man.
But soon or late the man who wins,
Is the man who thinks he can.
  C. W. Longenecker 
Dare to dream!
Dare to be different!

Keep shining…

Have an outstanding life…
