Winters shade casting,
To somewhere beyond it all;
Open all anew

Winters shade casting,
To somewhere beyond it all;
Open all anew
~ M. L Adams

Life goes up, life goes down,
That’s just the way it is
Life goes this way then goes that way
That’s just the way it is
People come in, people go out,
That’s just the way it is
As simply as it is,
Be at peace with all that isΒ
In all life’s moving and stillness;
Flow with all of it π
~ M. L Adams

How far would you
Travel for love,
Wander in wonder π
~ M. L Adams

A moon at dawn,
Across the way
A picture that no words can say π
~ M. L Adams

Where the pattern blends
With the sound
All beauty just surrounds
When all comes together as one
In all you give, In all you do;
Life smiles back at you π
~ M. L Adams

Mindset is everything and the one thing we do have control over. We may be knocked down and have temporary setbacks but we can always choose how to face it and to get back up.
Life can be unfair, yet we decide what to do with what we’re given and where to take it from there.
If you donβt like something, change it. If you canβt change it, change the way you think about it.
Choose to be the hero in the story not the victim.
Whatever life has dealt you, you get to choose how you deal with it.
“If life wants to play, then decide to play it your way. Make it what you can and be the greatest hero in your story. Be the scriptwriter of your life.”

What matters is now,
Always be present,
There are no limits; let go,
Nothing matters more than now
Always learning,
Always growing
Finding your way;
Be still, Be moving π
~ M. L Adams

You don’t need someone to be strong for you;
You need to be strong for yourself,
You don’t need someone to believe in you;
You have to believe in yourself
You don’t need someone to tell you when to go;
You need know yourself;
Know yourself and what you can do,
What you can be, truly from within
Only then when you’re really there for yourself,
Can you be there for anyone else
Only then when you truly believe in yourself,Β
Can you really be at your best π
~ M. L Adams
Life leads the thoughtful man on a path of many windings,
Now the course is checked, now it runs straight again
Here winged thoughts may pour freely forth in words,
There the heavy burden of knowledge must be shut away in silence
But when two people are at one in their inmost hearts,
They shatter even the strength of iron or of bronze,
When two people understand each other in their inmost hearts;
Their words are sweet and strong like the fragrance of orchids π
~Β Confucius
