It's not about what others tell you what life is,
it's about how you discover and create it for yourself. It is about being the unique you in this world. That's what brings value to life. The contributions you make, your gestures, your attitude. - Renata

"The only real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes." - Marcel Proust
"For one human being to love another; That is perhaps the most difficult of all our tasks... The work for which all other work is but preparation." - Rainer Maria Rilke - Charlie Chaplin (English comic actor, film director)
"Failure is unimportant. It takes courage to make a fool of yourself." "Life is a tragedy when seen in close-up, but a comedy in long-shot." "A tramp, a gentleman, a poet, a dreamer, a lonely fellow, always hopeful of romance and adventure." "Nothing is permanent in this wicked world - not even our troubles." "It seems our laws are always telling us what not to do - are always keeping us from enjoying ourselves. Human beings are made just as much for having fun as goose-stepping and sweating in factories." "That's what all we are. Amateurs. We don't live long enough to be anything else." - Anais Nin (French-cuban author) "We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are." "There are many ways to be free. One of them is to transcend reality by imagination, as I try to do." "My ideas usually come not at my desk writing but in the midst of living." - Peter Ustinov (English actor and writer) "Love is an act of endless forgiveness, a tender look which becomes a habit." "Intelligent or not, we all make mistakes and perhaps the intelligent mistakes are the worst, because so much careful thought has gone into them." - Angela Carter (English novelist and journalist) "I don’t really think that writers, even great writers, are prophets, or sages, or Messiah-like figures; writing is a lonely, sedentary occupation and a touch of megalomania can be comforting around five on a November afternoon when you haven’t seen anybody all day." "Art need no longer be an account of past sensations. It can become the direct organization of more highly evolved sensations. It is a question of producing ourselves, not things that enslave us." "Is not this whole world an illusion? And yet it fools everybody." "Reading a book is like re-writing it for yourself. You bring to a novel, anything you read, all your experience of the world. You bring your history and you read it in your own terms." Today is a new day. Are you present?
If you reminisce your past, remember how far you've come and find strength to keep moving forward. If your "mistakes" are lurking in your mind and disturbing your peace, check your perspective and what may you learn from the experience. As humans we have our own needs that may not go unnoticed; and beyond all that we consider important in the mundane, our foundation comes from feeling connected to our deepest self. There will be days that we feel blue and life will seem hard. There will also be days of joy. Life is in constant change. Make peace with your path and keep your head up. Trust that everything will adjust itself... in time... Life is happening, today. - Renata "A human being is a part of a whole, called by us _universe_, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest... a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty." - Einstein
