Genesis · 10-10-2014, 11:07 AM

Failure is not a destination.
It is an invitation to unforeseen victories.
Someone once said that a person who has never failed, has never done anything.
Make failure your vitamin.
When you fall, especially when it hurts, be willing to pick yourself up, dust yourself off and get back in the game.
You are not competing against anyone, not even yourself.
Life is not a sprint. It is a marathon.
Are you in it to win it?

Reject your fears.
Fear is just an emotion, nothing more.
It can not hurt you, but it can stop you from achieving your goals if you let it.
Face your fears head on, instead.
Embrace each moment that you feel you “blew it.”
Remember, it is just a memory.
The past only exists in your mind.
You have the absolute power to release it.
There is a fundamental difference between failure and temporary defeat.
Be willing to fail your way to success!
You have not failed.
You have merely graduated into a brand new opportunity to manifest the Greatness within you!
—Les Brown

ENTRANCE OF THE RIVER

Beloved of the rivers,beset
By azure water and transparent drops,
Like a tree of veins your spectre
Of dark goddess biting apples:
And then awakening naked
To be tattoed by the rivers,
And in the wet heights your head
Filled the world with new dew.

Water rose to your waist,
You are made of wellsprings
And lakes shone on your forehead.
From your sources of density you drew
Water like vital tears
And hauled the riverbeds to the sand
Across the planetary night,
Crossing rough, dilated stone,
Breaking down on the way
All the salt of geology,
Cutting through forests of compact walls
Dislodging the muscles of quartz.

Pablo Neruda

Your Feet

When I cannot look at your face
I look at your feet.
Your feet of arched bone,
your hard little feet.
I know that they support you,
and that your sweet weight
rises upon them.
Your waist and your breasts,
the doubled purple
of your nipples,
the sockets of your eyes
that have just flown away,
your wide fruit mouth,
your red tresses,
my little tower.
But I love your feet
only because they walked
upon the earth and upon
the wind and upon the waters,
until they found me.

Pablo Neruda

Be crumbled so wildflowers will come up where you are.
You've been stony for too many years.
Try something different.
Surrender.

"If you feel like others aren’t treating you with love and respect, check your price tag. Perhaps you subconsciously marked yourself down. Because it’s YOU who tells others what you’re worth by showing them what you are willing to accept for your time and attention. So get off the clearance rack. If you don’t value and respect yourself, wholeheartedly, no one else will either."

"Most of the world's problems could be avoided if people just said what they fucking meant".

Touched by an Angel

by Maya Angelou

We, unaccustomed to courage
exiles from delight
live coiled in shells of loneliness
until love leaves its high holy temple
and comes into our sight
to liberate us into life.

Love arrives
and in its train come ecstasies
old memories of pleasure
ancient histories of pain.
Yet if we are bold,
love strikes away the chains of fear
from our souls.

We are weaned from our timidity
In the flush of love's light
we dare be brave
And suddenly we see
that love costs all we are
and will ever be.
Yet it is only love
which sets us free.

"People are scared to empty their minds
fearing they will be engulfed by the void.
What they don't realize is that
their own mind is the void."
