" It's important to know what you believe. It's more important to know why you believe it."
Written in 2007 by Tommy Taylor --- Mississippi



What do you live for?

Life is not how you live, but what you live for
Things that we seek, things that we reap
Love we live for or the hate we die in
Providing love or being provided with it
Accepting defeats or celebrating victories
Masking sadness or happiness
Understanding or knowing
Detached or attached
Pondering upon or carefree
Taking in or giving away
Insatiably as a warrior for peace
In reality or in fantasy
To touch the rainbow or own the pot of gold
Celebrating each breath or just letting it pass by
Ultimately, it's your take on life.
Written in 2007 by Vikki Kumar --- India
We often forget to choose that which is right…

Written in 2011 by Krishna Sadh --- India

" Think of the highest peak you can reach, instead of thinking how deep how may have fallen down!!!!"
Written in 2011 by Swapnil Ghone --- India



" To be or not to be... There comes a time in your life that you say enough from the depths of your soul you take a big sigh. Against all odds you take a leap of faith.... Having to believe all is possible when nothing is looking right but nevertheless you go on. You begin to step into your future leaving behind the naysayers & all those in disbelief of what you stand for! You begin to listen to the voice from deep within your soul saying 'Yes you can; you can do it!' So you begin to move forward, closer to your dream, not knowing where this walk will take you but you know that you will be closer to your dream. You take a step; there is no stopping you. With a made up mind, you just do it! You decide to Be."
