  'LIFE'

Life is like
A game of cards.
The hand you are dealt
Is determinism;
The way you play it 
Is free will.

 
The alternative path, 
Is to act on a whim or
Repeatedly chase,
After a thrill.

She's a wise woman
Who does not grieve
For the things
Which she has not,
But rejoices for those
Which she has.

  

She prefers to remember,
Good times she forgot
Than cling to,
Her painful past.

In general 

You will find,
Success is a 

State of mind.
'They can because
They think they can' 

Well, it's been that way,
Since time began!

 
There are only 

Two ways to 

Live your life.
One is as though,
Nothing is a miracle.
The other is as though,
Everything is a miracle.

 
Even when you're 
Subjected to ridicule
By comparison the,
Risk is minuscule.

If you want success,
Begin thinking 
Of  yourself 

As a success.

You might also
Want to consider
The amount of time 

You allow for rest.

You manifest 
Everything  
That happens to 

You in life.
You attract 

What you get,
Be it happiness 
Or strife.

Notice how you are
The sole creator
Of your reality.

That you are,
The sole manifestor
Of your destiny.

Release any concerns
About your perishing.
Great power comes from
Letting go of everything.

 
Who is creating
This moment now?
Is God not the one
With all the know-how?

What is really
Happening right now?
What are you truly
Ready to allow?

 
Your life may be dry
Like an old well.
It may seem 
Like you've just 
Been through hell.
But dig a little deeper,
You will open
Up A wellspring 

Of new energy.

 
Personal awareness plus
Being kind to yourself,
Are often the 

Perfect remedy. 

So relax!
All the information
You need is within.
Stay calm,
Gently breathing out....
Then breathing in.

love her, and she will guard you. 

The beginning of wisdom is this: 

Get wisdom, and whatever you get, get insight.'
