The Roller-coaster Is My Life; Life Is A Fast, Dizzying Game; Life Is A Parachute Jump; It’s Taking Chances, Falling Over And Getting Up Again; It’s Mountaineering; It’s Wanting To Get To The Very Top Of Yourself And Feeling Angry And Dissatisfied When You Don’t Manage It

The Strongest Love Is The Love That Can Demonstrate Its Fragility.

Love Fills Everything. It Cannot Be Desired Because It Is An End In Itself. It Cannot Betray Because It Has Nothing To Do With Possession.

It's Daylight, The Sky Is Cloudy, And Human Beings Believe That Beyond The Clouds Lives An All-powerful God, Guiding The Fate Of Men. Meanwhile, Look At Your Son, Look At Your Feet, Listen To The Sounds Around You: Down Here Is The Mother, So Much Closer, Bringing Joy To Children And Energy To Those Who Walk Over Her Body. Why Do People Prefer To Believe In Something Far Away And Forget What Is There Before Their Eyes, A True Manifestation Of The Miracle?

A Warrior Accepts Defeat. He Does Not Treat It As A Matter Of Indifference, Nor Does He Attempt To Transform It Into A Victory. The Pain Of Defeat Is Bitter To Him; He Suffers At Indifference And Becomes Desperate With Loneliness. After All This Has Passed, He Licks His Wounds And Begins Everything Anew.

I Like To Be Challenged With Language, So I Start To Do Texts For My Blogs That People Can Download, Can Spread. There Is No Commercial Interest Behind It.

Our True Friends Are Those Who Are With Us When The Good Things Happen. They Cheer Us On And Are Pleased By Our Triumphs. False Friends Only Appear At Difficult Times, With Their Sad, Supportive Faces, When, In Fact, Our Suffering Is Serving To Console Them For Their Miserable Lives.

An Angel And A Devil Are Always Beside Us, And The One We Listen To More Will Prevail. This Confrontation Is What Makes Life So Magical Because You Are Always Challenged By The Circumstances - We Are Good And Evil Depending On How We Act

But There Is Suffering In Life, And There Are Defeats. No One Can Avoid Them. But It's Better To Lose Some Of The Battles In The Struggles For Your Dreams Than To Be Defeated Without Ever Knowing What You're Fighting For.

When You Know That Language, It's Easy To Believe That Someone In The World Awaits You, Whether It's In The Middle Of The Desert Or In Some Great City... Without Such Love, One's Dreams Would Have No Meaning.

Make Whatever Decision You Wish But Never Forget One Thing: All Of You Are Much Better Than You Believed. Take Advantage Of The Chance That Tragedy Has Given You; Not Everyone Is Capable Of Doing So

A Best Friend Is Someone With Whom You Can Sit On The Porch, Without A Word, And Then Walk Away With The Feeling That It Was The Best Conversation That Ever Had In Your Life. I Would Like To See Next To Me Was The Man In Whose Presence My Heart Beat Would Be Evenly And Uniformly, The Man Next To Whom I Would Be Calm, Because I Was Not Afraid To Be The Next Day To Lose Him. And The Time Would Have Flowed More Slowly, And We Could Just Keep Quiet, Knowing That To Talk With Us There Is Still A Whole Life. Only One Thing Makes A Dream Impossible - It Is The Fear Of Failure.

Making Fun Of Anyone Who Seeks Happiness Rather Than Money And Accusing Them Of "lacking Ambition."

And She Already Has Her Treasure: It’s You.

I Have Inside Me The Winds, The Deserts, The Oceans, The Stars, And Everything Created In The Universe. We Were All Made By The Same Hand, And We Have The Same Soul.

I Receive Your Love And I Give You Mine. Not The Love Of A Man For A Woman, Not The Love Of A Father For A Child, Not The Love Of God For His Creatures, But A Love With No Name And No Explanation, Like A River That Cannot Explain Why It Follows A Particular Course, But Simply Flows Onwards. A Love That Asks For Nothing And Gives Nothing In Return; It Is Simply There. I Will Never Be Yours And You Will Never Be Mine; Nevertheless, I Can Honestly Say: I Love You

Don't Give To Anyone The Power To Put You Down. Haters Are Losers Pretending To Be Winners.

You Must Be The Person You Have Never Had The Courage To Be.

Time Neither Moves Nor Is Stationary. Time Changes.

Never Apologize For Being Yourself.

Change. But Start Slowly, Because Direction Is More Important Than Speed

The Dangers Is That Every Religion, Including The Catholic One, Says "i Have The Ultimate Truth." Then You Start To Rely On The Priest, The Mullah, The Rabbi, Or Whoever, To Be Responsible For Your Acts. In Fact, You Are The Only One Who Is Responsible.

It Was My Fear Of Failure That First Kept Me From Attempting The Master Work. Now, I'm Beginning What I Could Have Started Ten Years Ago. But I'm Happy At Least That I Didn't Wait Twenty Years.

Procrastination

I Don't Care Whether It Was Once Sacred Or Not, I Hate What I Do. It's Destroying My Soul, Making Me Lose Touch With Myself, Teaching Me That Pain Is A Reward, That Money Buys Everything And Justifies Everything.

There Are Neither Winners Nor Losers; There Are Only Stages That Must Be Gone Through. When The Human Heart Understands This, It Is Free And Able To Accept Difficult Times Without Being Deceived By Moments Of Glory

The Present Moment, Though, Is Outside Of Time, It’s Eternity. In India They Use The Word “karma” For Lack Of Any Better Term. But It’s A Concept That’s Rarely Given A Proper Explanation. It Isn’t What You Did In The Past That Will Affect The Present. It’s What You Do In The Present That Will Redeem The Past And Thereby Change The Future.

He Accepts His Personal Legend Completely.

Personal Legend

At Some Point, We Have Each Said Through Our Tears, “i’m Suffering For A Love That’s Not Worth It.” We Suffer Because We Feel We Are Giving More Than We Receive. We Suffer Because Our Love Is Going Unrecognized. We Suffer Because We Are Unable To Impose Our Own Rules. But Ultimately There Is No Good Reason For Our Suffering, For In Every Love Lies The Seed Of Our Growth.

If One Partner Gives Himself Completely, He Breaks Down The Barriers Of The Other, However Strong They May Be. Because The Act Of Giving Means: "i Trust You".

Our Soul Is Governed By Four Invisible Forces: Love, Death, Power And Time.

Beauty Is Present In All Creation, But The Danger Lies In The Fact That We Allow Ourselves To Be Influenced By What People Think. We Deny Our Own Beauty Because Others Can't Or Won't Recognize It. We Try To Imitate What We See Around Us. We Try To Be What Other People Think Of As 'pretty' & Little By Little, Our Soul Fades. We Forget The World Is What We Imagine It To Be. We Stop Being The Sun And Become, Instead, The Pool Of Water Reflecting It.

Love Was A Feeling Completely Bound Up With Color, Like Thousands Of Rainbows Superimposed One On Top Of The Other.

The Warrior Knows That He Is Free To Choose His Desires, And He Makes These Decisions With Courage, Detachment, And - Sometimes - With Just A Touch Of Madness.
