The Doors - Love me Two Times

"If You Need Help, Ask God."
"If You Don't, Thank God"
"Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life;
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever."
Psalm 23:6

Friends can help each other. A true friend is someone who lets you have total freedom to be yourself-and especially to feel. Or, not feel. Whatever you happen to be feeling at the moment is fine with them. That's what real love amounts to-letting a person be what she / he really is.--Jim Morrison.

LIVE SIMPLY,
LOVE GENEROUSLY,
CARE DEEPLY,
SPEAK KINDLY,
LEAVE THE REST TO GOD.

Never take someone for granted.
Hold every person close to your heart.
Because you might wake up one day,
and realize that you have lost a diamond,
while you were busy collecting stones.

As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that was not supposed to ever let you down probably will.
You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it is harder every time.
You will break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You will fight with your best friend.
You will blame a new love for things an old one did.
You will cry because time is passing too fast, and
You will eventually lose someone you love.
So, take to many pictures, laugh too much, and love
like you have never been hurt, because every sixty
seconds you spend upset is one minute of happiness you
will never be able to get back.
Do not be afraid that your life will end.
Be afraid that it will never begin.

All that is necessary for evil to succeed is that good men do nothing-JFK.

I would like to make a positive difference in the lives of every person I know or meet.

History will never accept difficulties as an excuse-JFK

We should always believe in a God of second chances, a forgiving God.

Personal Vision-The ability to achieve and maintain peace and equality in our world. Eliminate all barriers including religious differences, racial prejudices, poverty, socio-economic factors and all other differences that separate us from our fellow man.

Success is failure turned inside out:
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt;
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems afar,
So stick to the fight when you are hardest hit;
It is when things seem worst that you must not quit.

Triumph and disaster are imposters that should be treated the same-Rudyard Kipling.

Despite the philosophical, poetic, lyrical, etc. statements above I hope to never have to act my age, at least for any extended period of time. I want to have fun and enjoy life to the fullest extent possible. God does not put us on this Earth for eternity, so Live It Up, Take Advantage of Opportunities, and Enjoy Life to the Max.

"All that you touch and all that you see all that you taste, all that you feel and all that you love and all that you hate, all you mistrust, all you save and all that you give, and all that you deal and all that you buy, beg, borrow or steal, and all you create and all you destroy and all that you do and all that you say and all that you eat and everyone you meet, and all that you slight and everyone you fight and all that is now and all that is gone and all that's to come, and everything under the sun is in tune, but the sun is eclipsed by the moon".

And there is time to kill today; but then one day you find, ten years has got behind you; no one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.
