Life is life, live it...

Life is an opportunity, benefit from it.
Life is beauty, admire it.
Life is a dream, realize it.

Life is a challenge, meet it.
Life is a duty, complete it.
Life is a game, play it. 

Life is a promise, fulfill it.
Life is sorrow, overcome it.
Life is a song, sing it.

Life is a struggle, accept it.
Life is a tragedy, confront it.
Life is an adventure, dare it. 

Life is luck, make it.
Life is too precious, do not destroy it.
Life is life, fight for it."
~ Mother Teresa

"Simplicity, patience, compassion.

These three are your greatest treasures.

Universe

A human being is a part of the whole 

called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. 

He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling 

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."
~Albert Einstein
