"Even with peace and clearness about life, there will always be more questions to be thought of and even more to be answered. We all have the answers around us but it's very hard finding them and people usually don't even bother looking for them. People think that it will be given to them without any struggle or work but its completely inaccurate. The answers might be hard to find but they are there. The answers are not material or physical things but I think the answers are within us, in our soul. They are our ideas and our emotions. They are the things that make you believe that you should be different from most people. They are the things that make us believe in something higher than what we are feeling now, they make us want to get out of the ordinary and experience the world with purpose and dreams. They make us want to realize the true beauty of life and love, and they make us feel, even through the hard times in life, that our soul, love, and the wonders of life will triumph over anything."

Life goes on...
"You are the person who has to decide. Whether you'll do it or toss it aside; You are the person who makes up your mind. Whether you'll lead or will linger behind. Whether you'll try for the goal that's afar. Or just be contented to stay where you are."

Do not be afraid of making choices at this stage of your life. Failures does not mean that you have failed but only means that you are given another fresh start to try it again with a little more wisdom than before; Challenge your thoughts; Take a chance to launch deeper into the sea of thoughts; The choices are yours to make, choose them wisely and well!

"Even though you may want to move forward in your life, you may have one foot on the brakes. In order to be free, we must learn how to let go. Release the hurt. Release the fear. Refuse to entertain your old pain. The energy it takes to hang onto the past is holding you back from a new life. What is it you would let go of today?"
Mary Manin Morrissey --- Submitted by Lauren C. --- New Jersey
"Many paths we travel, many souls we reach, happiness extends its hand to those who weep. Each and every heart we touch, enlightens our very soul, for it is that path we take, that very light we seek, sends us on our journey to that very Heart we seek."

Hopefully someone that feels lost may find just that not all paths lead to nowhere.
"The fear of failure is only a fear of failing; have faith, trust and believe in your abilities to succeed in all that you do. Ride the waves of overcoming inabilities by making them abilities of joyous successes!"

ANYTHING is accomplishable when you act on what you can do NOW!
THE BIG FADE...
I'm lost
Like a TV show that doesn't make sense
Unless you watch it from the beginning
I'm lost...
But I'm always gonna try
And I have no need to lie
Being who I am
Is something that I can't deny
I look up to the sky
And sometimes I wonder why
But I know I have to make
A better past before I die
Sometimes I say too much
Sometimes I don't make sense
If I get too drunk and rowdy
Then I might get too intense
I see the path
But through a blur
And sometimes I don't feel sure
I can shake it off for now
But how much more can I endure
I do the best I can
I try to do the right thing
I'm a poet,
I'm a writer
And I wish that I could sing
Sometimes I'm found
Sometimes turn it around
But beat myself into the ground
If I can't make the right sound
You look to be specific
And measure bullshit by the pound
If you don't try to be prolific
Then you might end up profound... ;

"I do not have rear view mirrors in my car because I don't like to see where I have been; I just want to see where I am going!"

"Sometimes hope is all we have in this world. When life gets hard and it seems as if the world is against you, you gotta have hope. Life isn't worth living without hope. So don't ever give up because hope alone is the strongest dream a person a can have."
Written in 2009 by Jane T. --- Pennsylvania
I just wrote this quote. I'm sure a lot of people have said something quite similar, yet maybe the same. I've been through a lot in my life, everything from losing my family, self-respect, and almost taking my own life a few years ago. Hope is the one thing that gets me through every day. Without it, I wouldn't be here. To anybody out there who feels like life just gets too hard sometimes, you have to remember that we were put on this earth for a reason and that even one person can make a difference.
"I'm convinced that we can write and live our own scripts more than most people will acknowledge. I also know the price that must be paid. It's a real struggle to do it. It requires visualization and affirmation. It involves living a life of integrity, starting with making and keeping promises, until the whole human personality, the senses, the thinking, the feeling, and the intuition are ultimately integrated and harmonized."
