Life is not at all a game of accumulating everything you need and maintaining a certain level of happiness, for happiness after all cannot be maintained. Life is a constant flow, of touching and growing and moving on. Life is either experienced or not, in joy and in sadness, in anger and in despair. Those who choose not its sorrows choose not its happiness as well; and those who choose not to live fully choose only to crumble and to die. – www.itakeoffthemask.com
The thing about hope is that it’s a positive force that shines the most when it’s dark. When everything’s going well, we hardly notice it’s there. But when things go against us, when our dreams fade and when we see no immediate reprieve from our troubles, that’s when hope does its best work for us.

One reply on “Life – quote”
So very true–I’m trying to learn more and more each day how to “live fully” and embrace life with its happiness and its sorrows. I believe its true too that happiness cannot be maintained, but we can choose to hold on to our “joy” no matter what the circumstances. …And yes, I’m still working on the later also!
God Bless,
