I feel my heart is wrenching and ask myself is it all worth it? The pain... the crying... the anguish...

Why do we so much drench our hearts in the river of worry ? why do we fall asleep in the pit of our doubts and uncertainties and then wake still in the abyss of struggles, drenched in the mist & fog of pains and heartbreaks ?

is worry not futile? though it perseveres for a while, yet when it's gone, man forgets all of it.

Are not our hearts, fragile as the thickness of a silk, yet strong as the walls of a city designed to be flooded with the breathe of our own happiness and be stormed with the wind of joy?

Isn't our soul, that gate between our spirits and the outside world a work of art designed to be guarded in a serene atmosphere & ambience of love, peace and stillness like the gentle tides of a river ?

Men will rather spend years living in the pains of their past regrets and failed accomplishments. they'll say;

"O, had I done it like this, things would have gone better, if I had married the other beautiful lady, we would probably have golden babies now in our golden homes, if I had been born in France, I'll have lived the best of my lives"

Decades pass by yet they grow old in these regrets and die in their deathbeds with the Shame that comes with it, not ending up living the very best of their lives!

Haven't you heard of that artiste, the best in his community who drew magnificent portraits of beauty depicting the wonderful awe and grandeur of artistry yet was always out of jealousy criticized by his subordinates and the villagers?

How he left his domain and went to the next, hoping to receive better compliments from a new breed of folks, which when he reached the gate of the other city was laughed at and scorned by the villagers and passersby.

Haven't you heard of how out of shame he got a rope and hanged himself at the entrance back to his own village?

Rather than worry, embrace happiness. embrace joy and live the best of life not minding how people feel about your success, failures, downsets or progress!!

live the good life!
live Limitless!!
