“A Chapter Of Life / Roll the Dice”

 

“A Chapter of Life

Life is like a book with many different chapters.

Some tell of tragedy, others of triumph.  Some chapters are dull and ordinary, others intense and exciting.

The key to being a success in life is to never stop on a difficult page, to never quit on a tough chapter.

Champions have the courage to keep turning the pages because they know a better chapter lies ahead.”   (Author Unknown)

“Listening to your heart, finding out who you are, is not simple.  It takes time for the chatter to quiet down.  In the silence of ‘not doing’ we begin to know what we feel.  If we listen and hear what is being offered, then anything in life can be our guide.  Listen. “   (Found on a Poster, Unknown Author)

Roll the Dice

if you’re going to try, go all the

way.

otherwise, don’t even start.

 

if you’re going to try, go all the

way.

this could mean losing girlfriends,

wives, relatives, jobs and

maybe your mind

go all the way.

it could mean not eating for 3 or 4 days.

it could mean freezing on a

park bench.

it could mean jail,

it could mean derision,

mockery,

isolation.

isolation is the gift,

all the others are a test of your

endurance, of

how much you really want to

do it.

and you’ll do it

despite rejection and the worst odds

and it will be better than

anything else

you can imagine.

 

if you’re going to try,

go all the way.

there is no other feeling like

that.

you will be alone with the gods

and the nights will flame with

fire.

do it, do it, do it.

do it.

 

all the way

all the way.

 

you will ride life straight to

perfect laughter, its

the only good fight

there is.”    (Charles Bukowski)

“You know you’re on the right path when your path dissolves right in front of you and you start trusting yourself completely.”   (Jeff Foster)

“You must act as if it is impossible to fail.”   (Ashanti Proverb)
