                “Nothing truly stops you.  Nothing truly holds you back.  For your own will is always within your control.  Sickness may challenge your body. But are you merely your body?

                  “We cannot choose our external circumstances, but we can always choose how we respond to them.”

                    your life is your life
                    don’t let it be clubbed into dank submission.
                    be on the watch.
                    there are ways out.
                    there is a light somewhere.
                    it may not be much light but
                    it beats the darkness.
                    be on the watch.
                    the gods will offer you chances.
                    know them.
                    take them.
                    you can’t beat death
                    but you can beat death in life, sometimes.
                    and the more often you learn to do it,
                    the more light there will be.
                    your life is your life.
                    know it while you have it.
                    you are marvelous
                    the gods wait to delight
                    in you.

                      “Everyone has his own specific vocation or mission in life… Therein he cannot be replaced, nor can his life be repeated.  Thus, everyone’s task is as unique as is his specific opportunity to implement it.” ~ Viktor Frankl
