Contentment is not something to be gained by possession. You can not work simply at being content, but must work at making a difference. True contentment is gained by the difference you make in the lives of others.

When you are dispirited, held back, beat down and you have no one,you can give up, give in, or you can find those things you need to stand within yourself.If no one else believes in you, then you must believe in yourself.If you can not get the love you need from others, you must make room in your heart and give that love to yourself.You must accept yourself exactly as you are, all your flaws, all your faults, all your dreams.

Luminaries play to a darkened sky. Each life is a star in the night’s lullaby.

To live in this single moment, this lightest breath, this softest touch, to be captured by this smallest, this briefest space of time, to be fully present, alive, consumed in this instant alone, this is truly living.

We all at certain times in our lives find ourselves broken. True strength is found in picking up the pieces.

Few are those whom this courage find. They keep their eyes upon the goal, and through this journey are made whole. A test of will by grand design, for fear lives only in the mind.
