"Mountains hide people we adore, distance puts them far, but only thoughts bring them closer to our heart."

"When we spend too long walking on a path and looking in the same direction, we will tire and see a cloudy mirage of false grandeur in the distance. We must remember to use all your senses, not to let them grow dull, and most importantly, to consider who's walking next to us. By doing so, we will realize the grandeur of the very path we are on and see with clarity only the beauty of the sunsets in the distance."

"Failure is an option because with your failures, personal growth is inspired."
Written in 2008 by Chastity Keifer --- Indiana

Without failures, you become egotistical and prideful but with failures you are reminded that you cannot accomplish your goal alone and failures bring personal growth that can inspire you to persevere forward.

Mind is the window to the Soul.
Heart is the foundation of the Spirit.
Love is the reason of Life.
Truth cannot be found, but hope.
There are no changes needed in Life.
Only acceptance and open arms of Love.
Let compassion carry us all through.
No one can change the world.
But let the world change our own way of life.

"Whatever you do, someone will criticize you. You will be blamed if you act and even if you don't act; if you speak, or don't speak. You can't keep pleasing everyone.

If not, then thank them and move on."
