Life is a mystery (Poem)

Image
There are days when I conquer the world with a thought, There are days when a thought crushes the world within me, There are days when I'm thankful for everything,  There are days when nothing fills the void in me, There are days I'm glad I remembered, There are days I'm longing to forget,  There are days  filled with light and laughter, There are days when the tunnel bears no light, There are days when I dream sweet dreams,  There are days when I feel my dreams are too far out of reach,  There are days that offer me strength,  There are days I'm tired of being tired, There are days when I'm so proud of my being, There are days when the why's never end, There are days when I smile through the pain, There are days when it pains to smile,  These are the days of my life, Like sand through the hourglass, Oh! The mystery of life. Annette Kinglock-Murray  All rights reserved.  Other poems: Infatuation and lust Life is a journey

The importance of being in your own company.       A man can be himself only so long as he is alone; and if he does not love solitude, he will not love freedom; for it is only when he is alone that he is free.  Arthur Schopenhauer There is no other company in the world I’ve found more pleasurable than my own.

“ It does not take much strength to do things, but it requires a great deal of strength to decide what to do .” “We all make choices, but in the end our choices make us.” “If you always make the right decision, the safe decision, the one most people make, you will be the same as everyone else.” The hardest thing about the road not taken is that you never know where it might have led. Lisa Wingate Courage doesn’t happen when you have all the answers. It happens when you are ready to face the questions you have been avoiding your whole life. Shannon L. Alder Every choice has a long afterlife of consequences. No one can know the eventual outcome of any decision. All you can do is make the best choice you can make at the moment. Cassandra Clare Life is about making choices. Every day we're faced with choices that will impact our lives in one way or the other. While some choices are easy, some are not so easy and there are times when we find ourselves in a tough spot where a decision ha...

Have you ever gotten the bitter end of things for being too nice? Has someone ever cut you out of traffic, or the supermarket line, embarrass you in public, or trifle with your emotions? Many of us are sincerely nice human beings, and we truly want to be good citizens of the world, but what is the cost of being too nice in a relationship,  at work, to a stranger?  "There are people who are going to expect you to always give in the extra mile, be the better one, be nice always. Those are not your people. Your people are the ones who will tell you to remove toxic individuals from your life, remove toxic friendships and relationships from your life, and break someone's car door window (and they'll help you do it too). Those are your people." C. JoyBell C. What's wrong with being too nice?🤔 These are commonly asked questions about being too nice: Is it weird to be too nice? Is being too nice toxic?
