INNER STRENGTH

I'm running from this problem,
Distancing myself from its scare,
The power to solve, to repair myself - its there,
But seems like all I'm doing -
Is turning away, while it continues to stare...
I need to resist, to keep up the fight,
This is not a problem - that one can solve overnight,
I will try and try again, till this devil does die,
Only then can I face my conscience, and rid myself of this plight.

One needs to struggle, one needs to cry,
Sufferings and pain - they're opportunities that come by -
To appreciate the joy and energy of life,
If there was no sadness, then how could joy be defined?
For you to improve - to get better at anything you want,
You need to have courage, and do what you think you can't,
I have the inner strength - it is sealed inside,
It gives off an aura - of unprecedented might,
I'm even given the key, what else can god provide?
Now it's up to me, this battle is only mine...

" Other people's perspectives and perceptions only define what's best through them. It does not necessarily relate to what's good in you, for you and for all. They are only a temporary guidance and sometimes memories of their own personal life experiences. It is not your destiny. Follow your dream, which lives in you, is revealed to you by God and found in the deepness of your own soul. If you must listen to every person's stories and accept every personal opinion as valuable, you will find yourself wandering. Other's opinions are only for consideration. It does not mean you have to accept them or receive them. It is just another option that you're allowed to choose. Everything is already from within you! Find that dream and follow your own creative mind. Use others as guidance and listen to the voice from within!"

" The appearance of things change according to the emotions, and thus we see magic and beauty in them, while the magic and beauty are really in ourselves."
Khalil Gibran --- Submitted by George Wachirah



" Our lives are one giant circle with four sides and are constantly in motion. In order for it to be always rotating forward, none of the four sides can be compromised. The four sides are kindness to others at all times, humility in all areas of life, being grateful for everything and everyone your life touches, and happiness in every facet of your life. Without these four corners of your life's circle being part of your every day life, your circle of motion will be stopped."

" If you find the situation adverse enough... if you feel the path is not clear.. if you dream but do not do it... if you believe but have not lived for it, it means your desires are weak, the world is too large & you are moving around. If you are in search, without knowing what is it, it is not because you cannot do anything but you are ignorant about a single word that is YOU."
