“Life is a mountain, Youngblood. Nobody said the climb was gonna be easy. You gotta choose your route.Get your gear.Breathe.Clear your mind.And enjoy the journey”

“I want to be an adherent and a proponent of Stoicism. an ancient Greek school of philosophy founded at Athens by Zeno of Citium. The school taught that virtue, the highest good, is based on knowledge; the wise live in harmony with the divine Reason (also identified with Fate and Providence) that governs nature, and are indifferent to the vicissitudes of fortune and to pleasure and pain.One thing bothers me though. If i stop enjoying the various pleasures of the carnal body, am i being ungrateful? Is not enjoying anything worth living for? One would argue that stoicism helps a person in enduring the hardships that life hurls upon a soul – it lead man towards anima; strengthens the pneuma. Being indifferent or not be able to experience the pleasures of the electric sensory impulses? I say it’s totes worth it because you can then be able to endure the pain of death itself.”

“You’re not a broken soul. You’re a whole soul who’s just feeling a little lost as you try a new path up the mountain.”

“Each of our lives’ is a separate and precious journey. No matter how happy, sad, painful, tragic or confusing it may by, it is unique and beautiful. No matter if we hurt others or if we ourselves were hurt, it happened and it is part of our story. If we think we can have complete control over this journey, our journey will wake us up… usually with a very unpleasant surprise.More than genetics, money or education, it is our journey who defines who we are. It defines what kind of person you are. Not the experiences you encountered nor the happy or traumatic events you may have endured. But rather how we dealt with those events and how we continue to deal with those events; when we evaluate ourselves and how we treat others. Your journey is part of your story. But it is not the complete story of who and how you are. You are a soul, a spirit, who has traveled through this life and along the way; you learned and gathered bits and pieces from here and there. And you, yourself, have woven together a soul, a spirit. And that is who you are today. You define… you.Oh, and just in case you thought your journey, your story was over… surprise, its not. So keep weaving. You are not finished yet. It is never to late to define who you are.”

“Give your all to every experience, feel it breathe it appreciate it, nothing lasts forever, when it’s gone you’ll remember the feeling it once gave you and sometimes that’s enough.”

“Introspective souls are often tormented by their passionate visions. This is because visionaries see what shall be and wake up to what is. However, if you couldn’t see a glimpse of the city lights while stranded in the forest, how would you ever know to walk in that direction? Sometimes, your vision can’t be put into action, until you gather the learning experiences, along your journey first.”

“I made up my mind not to care so much about the destination, and simply enjoy the journey.”

“You can’t have favour with God and suffer in life. Learn to have God’s favour first, and the favour of men will fall in place automatically for you.”

“I wrote about the things I discovered along the way and about how whether we believe it or not, everything we need to succeed in life is already present inside us. We just have to find the few.”

“I yearn not for the easy path, but for the right path.  For ‘easy’ and ‘right’ are rarely compatible.”

“We navigate many paths each day, but how many sooth our souls and nourish our senses? Be aware of where you walk because the path you take can change your very essence.”
