GODMAN QUOTES 18
***Dynamics of life****

Don’t give us what we haste for…give us what need to overcome our challenges.
Always seek help where it’s not needful than where it’s not given.
It’s a promise of a coming future to fulfill the future with a promising hope.
Your limit is where you place your boundary.
Life formulae states; give to life better than you expect.
When life has no reason to fail you; this is equivalent to success.
The biggest and most humble city in the world is obesity; this is a sizeable and social definition.
Owe life nothing but to enjoy and endure it.
Where a flower blossoms there you find a missing insect
If you are fulfilled your destiny will be full of bliss.

To be successful in our quest for happiness, we need to tackle life with the grit, determination, and persistence necessary to achieve meaningful goals, whilst possessing a protective armor against possible, even likely, failures. Successful individuals are almost always "anti-fragile" when it comes to failure. They
lean from their failures but are not broken by them.

He remembered Obi-Wan telling him about some poet he’d once read—he couldn’t remember the name, or the exact quote, but it was something about how there is no greater misery than to remember, with bitter regret, a day when you were happy…
How had everything gone so fast from so right to so wrong?
He couldn’t even imagine.

I know that's what people say-- you'll get over it. I'd say it, too. But I know it's not true. Oh, youll be happy again, never fear. But you won't forget. Every time you fall in love it will be because something in the man reminds you of him.

I do not miss childhood, but I miss the way I took pleasure in small things, even as greater things crumbled. I could not control the world I was in, could not walk away from things or people or moments that hurt, but I took joy in the things that made me happy.

What, if some day or night a demon were to steal after you into your loneliest loneliness and say to you: 'This life as you now live it and have lived it, you will have to live once more and innumerable times more' ... Would you not throw yourself down and gnash your teeth and curse the demon who spoke thus? Or have you once experienced a tremendous moment when you would have answered him: 'You are a god and never have I heard anything more divine.

Part of the problem with the word 'disabilities' is that it immediately suggests an inability to see or hear or walk or do other things that many of us take for granted. But what of people who can't feel? Or talk about their feelings? Or manage their feelings in constructive ways? What of people who aren't able to form close and strong relationships? And people who cannot find fulfillment in their lives, or those who have lost hope, who live in disappointment and bitterness and find in life no joy, no love? These, it seems to me, are the real disabilities.
