灵感来自生活(Inspiration from Life)

Taking the first step How will you know you can succeed at something if you don‘t give it a try? How will you know you can drag yourself out of the depths of your despair if you don‘t try? How do you know you won‘t get that new job if you don‘t apply? How do you know... Before becoming a success at anything, you must take that first step. Giving and Receiving Love Humans need love. It is in the giving and receiving of love that we choose life.

Participating in this fundamental exchange lies in our ability to trust others Happiness Now! Happiness is to be found along the way, not at the end of the road, for then the journey is over and it is too late. Today, this hour,

this minute is the day, the hour, the minute for each of us to sense the fact that life is good, with all of its trials and troubles, and perhaps more interesting because of them.
