here is no way that your life is "supposed" to be.

YES you can have what you want.

you must be a person whose forgiveness matters.

you have to believe that your future matters.

you must Honor yourself to feel worthy of that unity.

on which the established authorities are wrong.

From one point of view, one individual's vote
doesn't make any difference whatsoever.
The probability of an election swinging
by a single vote is infinitesimal.
On the other hand, if everybody took the attitude
that voting didn't matter, there could never
be a democratically elected government - at all.
So, does your vote matter? You bet your vote matters.
And, at least as much as your vote matters,
your intention for the future of the world matters.
That's so important, it's worth saying again.
At Least As Much As Your Vote Matters,
Your Intention For The Future Of The Entire World Matters.

Our only path to happiness lies in being open
to receiving whatever life throws at us -
with Gratitude. Have NO Expectations of life.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
I believe that everything happens for a reason.
People change so that you can learn to let go,
things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right,

and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.
- Marilyn Monroe
Satisfaction lies in the effort, not in the attainment,
full effort is full victory.

Fear of the unknown is
the greatest fear of humankind,
and death the greatest unknown.

lies in living in the moment -
enjoying what you are doing today.
You don't need a reason to be happy,
just a choice.
