About me

"LIFE IS NOT A ROAD. IT IS A GARDEN."

"When your determination changes, everything will begin to move in the direction you desire. The moment you resolve to be victorious, every nerve and fiber in your being will immediately orient itself toward your success. On the other hand, if you think, "This is never going to work out," then at that instant every cell in your being will be deflated and give up the fight. Then everything really will move in the direction of failure."
Daisaku Ikeda, "Faith into Action"

"There is a luxury in self-reproach. When we blame ourselves, we feel that no one else has a right to blame us. It is the confession, not the priest, that gives us absolution."
Oscar Wilde "The Picture of Dorian Gray" (1891)


Three things to hold close to your heart - LOVE - SIMPLICITY - SELF DENIAL
