If Only To See the Stars

If you cry because the sun has gone out of your life, your tears will prevent you from seeing the stars.
- Rabindranath Tagore

Courage doesn't always roar.
Sometimes courage is the quiet voice
at the end of the day saying,
"I will try again tomorrow."
- Mary Anne Radmacher

Earth laughs in flowers.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.
- Rabindranath Tagore

Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.
- Confucius

Life is what happens while you are busy making other plans.
- John Lennon

Life is without meaning.
You bring the meaning to it.
The meaning of life is whatever you ascribe it to be.
Being alive is the meaning.
- Joseph Campbell

Life is not about waiting for the storms to pass...
It's about learning how to dance in the rain.
- Vivian Greene

Happiness depends upon ourselves.
- Aristotle

We must be willing to get rid of the life we've planned,
so as to have the life that is waiting for us.
The old skin has to be shed before the new one can come.
- Joseph Campbell

Life may not be the party we hoped for,
but while we are here we might as well dance.
- Anonymous

Today I feel like a complete and utter failure in all aspects of my life. But then I think of all the obstacles that I have overcome to get to this place and see that I have made huge strides in a forward direction and breathe again knowing that while my life is still nowhere near perfect, it is also nowhere near failure; tonight that is enough.

Goodnight, dear void.
