Poems about growing up

Each day is a new canvas to paint upon. Make sure your picture is full of life and happiness, and at the end of the day you don't look at it and wish you had painted something different.

Being vulnerable doesn't have to be threatening. Just have the courage to be sincere, open and honest. This opens the door to deeper communication all around. It creates self-empowerment and the kind of connections with others we all want in life. Speaking from the heart frees us from the secrets that burden us. These secrets are what make us sick or fearful. Speaking truth helps you get clarity on your real heart directives.
Sara Paddison

As my life flashes before my eyes, (Death)
I look at all the hidden lies. (Truth)
What all I see can only be (Hidden)
A picture of the chaos embodied in me. (Rage)
The pain explodes within my head, (Loss)
And all my thoughts turn to the dead. (Despair)
But what about what's left behind? (Frustration)
That thought, the only thing to save my life and mind. (Apathy)
In utter frustration I cry out, (Struggle)
But not a sound issues without. (Defeat)
For all the pain I keep inside, (Strength)
The confusion, anger, sadness I abide. (Life)
I can never let it truly go, (Greed)
So that shall be my eternal woe.
Shattered Silver

The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt.
Bertrand Russell

**

Getting ahead in a difficult profession requires avid faith in yourself. That is why some people with mediocre talent, but with great inner drive, go much further than people with vastly superior talent.
Sophia Loren

**

At the end of your life, you will never regret not having passed one more test, not winning one more verdict, or not closing one more deal. You will regret time not spent with a husband, a friend, a child, or a parent.
Barbara Bush

When you plant lettuce, if it does not grow well, you don't blame the lettuce. You look for reasons it is not doing well. It may need fertilizer, or more water, or less sun. You never blame the lettuce. Yet if we have problems with our friends or family, we blame the other person. But if we know how to take care of them, they will grow well, like the lettuce. Blaming has no positive effect at all, nor does trying to persuade using reason and arguments. That is my experience. No blame, no reasoning, no argument, just understanding.
Thich Nhat Hahn

Education is discovering the brain...
Anyone who does not have a thorough, holistic grasp
of the brains architecture, purposes, and main ways of
operating is as far behind with the times as an automobile
designer without a full understanding of engines.
Leslie Hart

**

A human being.. experiences himself, his thoughts ,
and feelings as something separated from the rest a kind
of optical delusion of his consciousness.

This delusion is a kind of prison for us...
Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison
by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living
creatures and the whole of nature in it's beauty.
Albert Einstein

Children are born true scientists. They spontaneously experiment, experience and re-experience again...They smell, taste, bite, and touch test for hardness, softness, springiness, roughness, smoothness, coldness and warmness.R Buckminster Fuller
