men fearless enemy
Fear and Guilt are the only enemies of man.
losing-a-loved-one dying wonderful
Dying is nothing to fear. It can be the most wonderful experience of your life. It all depends on how you've lived.
choices crushed polished
When life puts you through a tumbler, it's your choice whether you come out polished or crushed.
death each-day ifs
I always say that death can be one of the greatest experiences ever. If you live each day of your life right, then you have nothing to fear.
war denial alive
Is war perhaps nothing else but a need to face death, to conquer and master it, to come out of it alive -- a peculiar form of denial of our mortality?

"...All events are blessings given to us to learn from and therefore we should be grateful for the opportunity to grow and evolve into our best selves."

Every individual human being born on this earth has the capacity to become a unique and special person, unlike any who has ever existed before or ever will exist again.

Mankind's greatest gift... is that we have free choice.
adversity crystals
We all have to go through the tumbler a few times before we can emerge as a crystal.

I'm not okay, you're not okay, and that's okay.

If, on the other hand, you listen to your own inner voice, to your own inner wisdom, which is far greater than anyone else's as far as you are concerned, you will not go wrong, and you will know what to do with your life. Then time is no longer relevant.

So, I'm less judgmental.
pain unconditional-love thinking
I think modern medicine has become like a prophet offering a life free of pain. It is nonsense. The only thing I know that truly heals people is unconditional love.
death procrastination knowing
Begin to live each day to the fullest, as if it were the only one we had.
