I'm a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work the more I have of it.

LUCK
He worked by day
And toiled by night.
He gave up play
And some delight.
Dry books he read,
New things to learn.
And forged ahead,
Success to earn.
He plodded on
with Faith and pluck;
And when he won,
Men called it luck. ­­

Positive anything is better than negative nothing...

POSITIVE V. NEGATIVE:

The transformation from negative to positive

Has completely changed my life.

How relaxation and a few daily excercises

Have ended years of tears and strife.

The secret is to think of the good times,

And to think of them each day.

The rewards are so benificial

That one looks forward to each new day.

Days that are filled with hope,

With calm and peaceful feelings within.

I look back to my negative days and think,

What a wasted life what a sin?

When one has a positive outlook,

One is motivated in every way.

Your aim is to reach your goal in life,

"Follow your dream" is what I say.

I've read some very informative books,

Which made some compelling reading.

It made me stop dead in my tracks,

A kickstart was what my brain was needing.

The books helps one to slim,

And when your confidence takes a nose dive,

How very, very glad I'm positive,

And feel so extremely alive.

There isn't a negative thought in my mind,

I'm like a flower that's in bud.

The only negative thing about me

Is my Rhesus Negative Blood.

I've emerged from the dark tunnel,

The tunnel without a glimmer of light.

And with hand on my heart I can honestly say,

"All is well. I am doing alright."

Dancing in the rain

I danced in the rain
though I knew I’d get wet
and it would take eons for my clothes to dry--
I danced anyway.

I danced
as the clouds erupted
into waterfalls of fury,
like melted glaciers in the sky,
or wicked witches of Oz.

I danced because I could,
because I would.

I danced to defy nature’s wrath
to create rain worthy of gods.

I danced because I felt like dancing,
because moping would do me no good.

I danced to celebrate the rain,
to cleanse myself with it
like Bathsheba in David’s yard.

I danced to expunge myself – to become one with the rain,
like a fairy in a flower just blooming.

I danced to dance,
because my soul danced.

I danced
because soon enough,
the rain began to dance--
it started with one drop and then another,
I heard reggae.

I caught my reflection in a puddle,
just dancing,
dancing.

I caught the rain in a puddle,
just dancing,
dancing.

I danced--
just me and the rain.

The unstoppable

♫ “The question isn't who is going to let me; it's who is going to stop me.”

Life is only a third of chance
and three fourths of what you make it.
Every day a simple decision can hurt or help you.
The trick to it it knowing what each decision will bring.
No one is perfect and should never be considered that way.
Who you are is only a tenth of what you say.
Ninety percent is what you do.
The world we live in is filled with hate.
The crazy thing is that God never intended it to be in this state.
Taking your life's road and following it is so much easier said than done.
You have to look at where you been to know where you're going.
Finding a purpose and fulfilling it.
Who you are isn't who you're with or where you're at.
It's deep inside you, constant sometimes with defect.
Just knowing that growing comes with pain.
nothing ventured is nothing gained.
Accepting this is my decision.
Adapting to this is my mission.
My words are here so my actions must follow.
Sick of being in a world that leaves me hollow.
Starting everyone out with a clean slate.
Making no one else pay for another's mistake.
Free to live life with no regrets,
Hopefully my words you read will have an effect.
Life's principals are something you can't forget.

The secret of creatives

To be creative means to be in love with life. You can be creative only if you love life enough that you want to enhance its beauty, you want to bring a little more music to it, a little more poetry to it, a little more dance to it.

The Rebel

People are afraid, very much afraid of those who know themselves. They have a certain power, a certain aura and a certain magnetism, a charisma that can take out alive, young people from the traditional imprisonment.... The enlightened man cannot be enslaved - that is the difficulty - and he cannot be imprisoned.... Every genius who has known something of the inner is bound to be a little difficult to be absorbed; he is going to be an upsetting force. The masses dont want to be disturbed, even though they may be in misery; they are in misery, but they are accustomed to the misery. And anybody who is not miserable looks like a stranger. The enlightened man is the greatest stranger in the world; he does not seem to belong to anybody. No organization confines him, no community, no society, no nation.
