“Life is like a vineyard; each vine represents an experience, and each grape signifies a lesson. As we mature, each grape becomes easier to distinguish the sweet from the sour. The nature of a parent is to walk the vineyards with our own children, to spare them of the sour grapes. Eventually, we need to accept that their nature is to cultivate their own vineyard!” ~ Laura Carlone

Decisions
When we act in life, throughout that act, we know
When we buy something, we know
When we abuse our bodies, we know
When we care for our bodies, we know
When we say things to offend, we know
When we say things to encourage, we know
We meet somebody, we know
What do we know?
The gift of course; “instincts”! God gave us this gift, one of many; all we have to do is “listen, believe, and execute”. We were born with the best resource we will ever find, and it’s right under our noses. Ironically, when we ignore it, we know”!~ Laura Carlone
Dear Laura,
That poem is the most beautiful piece I’ve read in a long time.
You are talented!!!
****The Equation of Life Must Include “Forgiveness”
When we’re born, we’re born as a whole, like an apple.
100% of the core is, “love”. The outer part of the core is made up of many immature but prominent unique characteristics. This love spreads into our characteristics and ultimately builds the “Quality of life” (the apple).
As we grow, our characteristics develop and intensify from our experiences. These influences enrich the development and highlight our emotions, such as happiness, laughter, anger and grievance. In all, we gain knowledge and maturity and mostly, “Faith in God”. We learn that without God, there is NO core, and without the core, none of the characteristics would exist.
Let’s look at the “Quality of life”, (the apple) when placed in an equation.
CORE + CHARACTERISTICS = CONTENTMENT
There is only one way to intervene the core; “hate”! Every time we hate, we are slowly contaminating the core and diminishing the love and tragically substituting it with “hate”.
Now let’s look at the “Quality of life”, (the apple) when adding “hate” to the equation. Notice that the equation doesn’t change at all, just the answer.
CORE + CHARACTERISTICS = DESPONDENCY
My question is this; WHY would anyone EVER want to alter the Apple?
*** The only things I am going to regret are the things I didnt do***
The greatest prayer is to request for no new wish.
life is not only struggle but it is relax also.
one of my favorites
“Happiness is a mood not a detination”
always follow your heart because even though it’s on the left it’s always right! <3
Great Minds Discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small Minds discuss people!
It’s not what you look at that matters, it’s what you see!
Courage comes through suffering!
If God brought you to it, he will bring you through it!
Always add sparkles, in any given situation, Always add sparkles!
When life hands you a hundred reasons to cry, show life thousands of reasons to smile!
You get out of it whatever you put into it!
in the words of my grandad ron,
“finding out who you are is only easy when yuu discover who you want to be”
each one of us has our own routes in life,we may meet many obstacles along the way but one thing is for sure, we’ll be able to reach the end if we continue reaching for it.
__***
If there is no eternal life after death, no GOD, then life on this earth has been one big JOKE…
and they all lived happily ever after…
yeah right…
we must belive and not hope
because if one hopes thats the only thing he does \
but if one belives he lives to make it happen- tal levine

Life is beautiful that we barrow from God…we experiences bad and good things but always remember God is our watcher! He let us enjoy our life to live but we should not abuse it..love and respect yourself as you love and respect the one who gave you your LIFE!
Life is a series of injuries to your mind, body and spirit until you eventually succumb to your wounds

life is like a game.

Life is just what it is.
Sometime life give U chance after making U struggle, thts wt WE call Oportunity….

***
The jest of all of this:
Everything is a compromise
Live your life to the absolute fullest because you won’t get today back
Enjoy life for what it is and be happy for the miracle of being alive.
Most important thing to remember;
People are constantly trying to reach for something, a goal or a physical thing or plans to do something. But when you get there you realize “well this us it” and it isn’t that great. You missed out on the fun on the way to getting to a certain point, anticipating it, so long story short, enjoy every last bit of life and live it. Don’t anticipate. Most people live their lives goal oriented.
I feel like adding my self made motto
Life’s Life, live it how you get it.
