Know that there is no single way that life is "supposed" to be.

is a sure fire recipe for a miserable existence.

with Gratitude. Have NO Expectations of life.

While this much is essential to continued human existence,
choose to take "pay it forward" farther - much farther.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
When you cry and weep,

Only in celebration
do we go beyond the circle of birth and death.

The heart is unpolluted.
- Osho
Fate is nothing but the deeds committed

than that of blindfolded fear.
