I refuse to walk faintly through life only to arrive safely at death!
The adrenaline and stress of an adventure are better than a thousand peaceful days.
Join with those who sing songs, tell stories, enjoy life ... because happiness is contagious. Join those who walk with their heads high even when they have tears in their eyes. Avoid those who ... have never shed a tear
I have seen many storms in my life. Most storms have caught me by surprise, so I had to learn very quickly to look further and understand that I am not capable of controlling the weather, to exercise the art of patience and to respect the fury of nature.
The moment we begin to seek love, love begins to seek us. And to save us.
When I had nothing to lose, I had everything. When I stopped being who I am, I found myself.
Long distance relationships are living proof that love is not just physical. I can feel you next to me even when you're thousands of miles away. Waiting is painful. Forgetting is painful. But not knowing which to do is the worst kind of suffering.
Your decision to walk creates the path ahead
Live the life you always wanted to live. Avoid criticizing others and concentrate on fulfilling your dreams.
I've always been a very restless person. I work hard, spend too much time looking after my son, I dance like a mad thing, I learned calligraphy. I go to courses on selling, I read one book after another. But that's all a way of avoiding those moments when nothing is happening, because those blank spaces give me a feeling of absolute emptiness, in which not a single crumb of love exists.
On your journey to your dream, be ready to face oasis and deserts. In both cases, don't stop
How much I missed, simply because I was afraid of missing it.
It's very difficult to read a book on your computer.
The spiritual path can only be traveled through the daily experience of love.
