Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark, in the hopeless swamps of the approximate, the not-quite, the not-yet, the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish, in lonely frustration for the life you deserved, but have never been able to reach. Check your road and the nature of your battle. The world you desire can be won. It exists. It is real. It is possible. It is yours.

&quot;life can be horrible, so be even worse.&quot;<br /> &quot;A shelf&rsquo;s for a clock or vase or picture,<br /> But I don&rsquo;t see why it should have to bear<br /> A chimney that only would serve to remind me<br /> Of castles I used to build in air.&quot;

When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down &#039;happy&#039;. They told me I didn&#039;t understand the assignment. I told them they didn&#039;t understand life
