A quote about life.


"The longer I live, the more beautiful life becomes."
Frank Lloyd Wright


"When I first open my eyes upon the morning meadows and look out upon the beautiful world, I thank God I am alive."
Ralph Waldo Emerson


"It's hard to accept, but you can't change the past. You can't go back and manipulate things to the way you wanted them to happen. But you can change the future and that's a beautiful thing about life. Yes, you will make mistakes. And yes, you will have bad days - but as long as you let the past go, you'll have such a gorgeous and bright future ahead of you knowing that things were meant to happen; knowing that each day you will learn something so that you keep growing to be a better person. Life is like a rope, twined in all its complexities and yet woven into one marvelous stream that you have the chance to use and create something amazing from. So grab hold of it."

I wrote this just recently. I had an exceptionally bad day and felt kind of low, so I sat on my verandah and something just came to me - so I grabbed my journal and wrote it down. This is just the end of what I wrote, but from then on, I kept coming back and reading it to inspire me - I hope it inspires you.

"God is the author; men are only the players. These grand pieces, which are played upon the earth, have been composed in heaven."
Balzac --- Submitted by Aparna S. --- India


Sincerely speaking,
Where on earth would you rather be
Than where you are at this moment?
This instant, your eyes might be taking for granted
An image that shows life with countless miseries.
Soon it might all be over;
The laughs, the tears, and reflections.
You think it's eternal.
Play life like a card game.
Know that what is unseen,What you feel,
The love you share with others,
Generosity and honesty,
Faith and tenderness,
Not only lasts a lifetime,
It lasts forever,
Through all eternity.
