Our deepest fear is not that we're inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It is not just some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

Love or Lust?

Love:                                OR                                   Lust:


- a profound, passionate affection for another                                 - intense sexual desire or appetite.
-  a feeling of warm personal attachment or deep affection             - a passionate desire or craving

      "Love is patient, love is kind. It has no envy, nor it boasts itself and it is never proud. It rejoices over the evil and is the truth seeker. Love protects; preserves and hopes for the positive aspect of life. Always stand steadfast in love, not fall into it. It is like the dream of your matter of affection coming true."
      Love is what everyone looks for; they spend hours on end trying to find that one person. But lust is what most will find on their search for love. Does that mean that lust is love? Or simply that in order to find love, you must experience lust to know what love is?
      There is a drastic difference between love and lust. Lust is simply having an attraction to someone, and acting upon it. Love is to have that attraction, but also to have passion, attachment, and unconditional feelings. When you are in lust you can easily get over that person. If they upset or hurt you, there are no deep feelings that keep you connected to them. Being in love means you stand by that person regardless of how they hurt you. Yes there are situations, in which this does not occur, but you get over your differences, you learn to accept one another for the good and the bad. Love is a feeling that is different for everyone. Love holds you captive, it releases all your emotions, and it makes you vulnerable.
     Everyone will go through that lust.  Maybe that lust will turn into love, who knows. Each and everyone of you will experience both love and lust. But every one searches for love, and when love cannot be found, lust is what is turned to.
So what is it for you? love or lust?

Sportsmanship

Good sportsmanship we hail, we sing,
It's always pleasant when you spot it.
There's only one unhappy thing:
You have to lose to prove you've got it.
