“Anger is like the bubbles in a can of soda.
The more you’re shaken, the more you want to let it out.
The longer you keep it in though,
the greater the size of the eventual explosion
and the flatter the drink at the end.”

“Once in your life, whatever he was to the world, he becomes everything to you.
When you look him in the eyes, traveling to the depths of his soul,
and you say a million things without a sound,
you know that your own life is inevitably consumed within”

“This life is yours. Take the power to choose what you want to do and do it well. Take the power to love what you want in life and love it honestly. Take the power to walk in the forest and be a part of nature. Take the power to control your own life. No one else can do it for you. Take the power to make your life happy.”

“The young sailor at sea was ordered to climb a mast to adjust a sail during a violent storm. He got halfway up, looked down, got dizzy and sick. An old sailor on deck shouted up to him Look up, son, look up. Young sailor looked up, regained his composure, and completed his mission."

“If you're alone, I'll be your shadow.
If you want to cry, I'll be your shoulder.
If you want a hug, I'll be your pillow.
If you need to be happy, I'll be your smile.
But anytime you need a friend, I'll just be me”

and the punctuation of happy, joyful times together
are too precious to be clouded over.

a philosopher sees both sides and shrugs;
an optimist doesn't see the clouds at all--

Tenderness contains an element of sadness. It is not the sadness of feeling sorry for yourself or feeling deprived, but it is a natural situation of fullness. You feel so full and rich, as if you were about to shed tears. Your eyes are full of tears, and the moment you blink, the tears will spill out of your eyes and roll down your cheeks. In order to be a good warrior, one has to feel this sad and tender heart. Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche
