paths-of-life

May you find the right path to your destination.

God determines the path of every man.

The Lord doesn't always make our paths smooth sailing, but He does make it possible to rise above adversity.

Often what feels like the end of the world is really a challenging pathway to a far better place.

Let your imagination takes you to where you wish to be.

When you keep hitting walls of resistance in life, the universe is trying to tell you that you are going the wrong way. It's like driving a bumper car at an amusement park. Each time you slam into another car or the edge of the track, you are forced to change direction.

In your quest for peace within, you follow several paths. Over a period of time, the path which is meant for you shows up just like the opening up of petals of a bud. Tread on it and make the world more beautiful!

Adversity quickens the mind, awakens the spirit and strength the soul.

An exceptional Sensei has traits such as patience and integrity. Otherwise, natural fighting ability, cruelty and aggressive behavior may be observed in most animal predators.

Four great adventures; read, learn, write and travel.

The first step towards true enlightenment is to lighten up on yourself.

Life is offering you infinite paths! To get stuck in one path is nothing but shallowness! Go deep, discover other lanes!

Look beyond now.The road ahead offers a good voyage.

Keep traveling, even if you don't know where the road will end.

Choose to live life.Choose your own career paths.Choose your own destiny.

Create your own path.

The pages continue to turn, and every day I'm a little older, hopefully a little wiser and a lot more grateful. Do I have regrets? I have a few - but not as many as you might think. If it hadn't been for the darkness, I never would have known the light. In life we all take different paths, some more difficult than others, but in the end, all that matters is whether or not they lead us home.
