Though the destination may be sweet, we must enjoy all aspects of the journey before we reach our desired end states. This includes all the twists and turns it takes to get there. What if the dance is right here, right now, in this moment -
rather than tomorrow?
We always are so focused on what we want in the future, and how much better things will be when we get these things - whether it be a perfect job, family, or relationship. But happiness does not have to be one day. It can be right now.
Every day should be a form of Heaven. Every moment should be turned into Heaven. Turn every experience into Paradise.
We must choose to see the positive aspects of all situations. What if we studied and worked and stressed only to get to a retirement home and regretfully look back only to see that we never danced along the way ? The dance IS the journey, not the destination. The goal is to enjoy the now - the present moment, and treat it like it is the best moment of our lives. Life should be joyful, so forget where we've been and where we're headed, and love where we are...

Romanticism
You are out there. You are out there thinking similar thoughts to mine and waiting for me.
I bet you try to make everyone in a room feel comfortable with your smile.
I know you'll be good. My grandfather always said, "Our kind is good." I know you'll be like that...
I can't wait to meet you when destiny allows...

Rejection
As I walked a path today
I gathered my thoughts
And felt the sun shining down
Gently bronzing my skin
I thought about the rejection I had just endured
And the criticisms he had for me
And how I had done my best to change
And how it wasn't enough
And I smiled at the lady passing by
And waved at the driver as I crossed the street
I shined my light to all that I encountered
And I wondered why the sadness was fading from me so fast
Faster than it has in the past
And the realization came to me
That life is just so beautiful
And there is just so much to be happy about
And I am so in love with it
That to be sad with all there is to be happy about would be such a shame
And as I continued to walk
I became aware that the reason I had recovered so quickly was
Because I love myself
And as an old soul I know so much more than I used to
And when I got home
These fuzzy little felines came meowing
And I picked one up and squeezed it tight
And I knew that I was loved
And I was at peace
I gathered my thoughts
And felt the sun shining down
Gently bronzing my skin
I thought about the rejection I had just endured
And the criticisms he had for me
And how I had done my best to change
And how it wasn't enough
And I smiled at the lady passing by
And waved at the driver as I crossed the street
I shined my light to all that I encountered
And I wondered why the sadness was fading from me so fast
Faster than it has in the past
And the realization came to me
That life is just so beautiful
And there is just so much to be happy about
And I am so in love with it
That to be sad with all there is to be happy about would be such a shame
And as I continued to walk
I became aware that the reason I had recovered so quickly was
Because I love myself
And as an old soul I know so much more than I used to
And when I got home
These fuzzy little felines came meowing
And I picked one up and squeezed it tight
And I knew that I was loved
And I was at peace

Never Never Never Give Up
We fall down. We err. We fail to put the best version of ourselves into the world. But when we remember our magnificence, slowly but surely we build ourselves back up and we climb our mountains until one day we are sitting on top relishing in the beauty of the world whilst feeling proud of our defeated challenges. We must honor the journey we are on to become our best selves. For the human spirit is stronger, wiser, and more powerful than we could ever imagine. We must never give up on our dreams, no matter how impossible they may seem.
