A small act is worth a million thoughts.
Naturally, when life's lessons knock at the door of our life, happiness can be momentarily obscured.
You can start with nothing. And out of nothing, and out of no way, a way will be made.
If you are not consciously directing your life, you will lose your footing and circumstances will decide for you.
At some point you have to own up to how great you are, how beautiful you are, to how much inner dignity and potential you have. Drop complaining about what other people didn’t give you or do for you, or how they mistreated you. Take repossession of your Self and you will rise to a level of greatness that has been yours all along.
Stop looking outside for help. You're sourced and fuelled and funded by a renewable resource, which is within you. It never runs out. It is your Essence. It's your life.
Behind every problem, there is a question trying to ask itself. . . Behind every question there is an answer trying to reveal itself. Behind every answer there is an action trying to take place. And behind every action there is a way of life trying to be born.

At 50, I thought proudly: Here we are, half century! Being 60 was fairly frightening. You want to know how I spent my 70th birthday? I put on a completely black face, a fuzzy black Afro wig, wore black clothes and hung a black wreath on my door.
I have a massive divide between being a competent human being and being completely hopeless, when it comes to logic.
