Like everyone else I am what I am: an individual, unique and different, with a lineal history of ancestral promptings and urgings; a history of dreams, desires, and of special experiences, all of which I am the sum total.
No man is great enough or wise enough for any of us to surrender our destiny to. The only way in which anyone can lead us is to restore to us the belief in our own guidance.
Your only obligation in any lifetime is to be true to yourself.
Cogito ergo sum: I think, therefore I am.
Very few of us are what we seem.
We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop.
You can exist without your soul, you know, as long as your brain and heart are still working. But you'll have no sense of self anymore, no memory, no... anything. There's no chance at all of recovery. You'll just exist. As an empty shell. And your soul is gone forever... lost.
The reward for conformity is that everyone likes you but yourself.
I count him braver who overcomes his desires than him who conquers his enemies; for the hardest victory is the victory over self.
Love yourself enough to deserve the best and you will receive it.
