Adversity and Courage

It's easy to be happy when life is easy going,
but adversity is how character and convictions are measured.
If we're beaten, we take rest and heal;
if we fall, we take strength and rise.
As long as we have breath and life, it is our responsibility
to fight and conquer, and to help each other.
Every cell in our body does this every moment of our life.
We shouldn't expect less from our minds.

As Swami Vivekananda said,
"He conquers all who conquers himself".
Those who cultivate courage will remain unshaken,
regardless of how strong the winds of life blows at them.

thinking bout Liz

But God knows best
I'm not depressed
I'm just not smiling at it
It's not sadness
It's just neutrality

four times happier

I'm alone again
in this cold, cruel world
Trapped in the emotions of my mind
with no way out
Who's the woman
with the key to my heart?
Who will set me free?
