Feelings can have a life of their own and you have very little direct control over them, except perhaps to make them worse. ↗

Falling into the trap of self-pity will get you no where in life. It's sorrowful endless cycle will keep you from reaching your goals. Everyone has a sad story but not everyone allows it to restrain them. Let life's hardships fuel you to success instead of holding you back. Start controlling your life or it will control you!  ↗

و قد تسألين كيف ارتقت به هذه العظمة الكاذبة من درجة الى درجة، و من مكانة الى مكانة، و لكني أرجو أن تكوني أقل سذاجة من هذا يا سيدتي، فليس ينبغي أن تسألي عن الضعفاء و العاجزين كيف يرتفعون فذلك ملائم لطبيعة الاشياء، و انما يجب أن تسألي عن الأكفاء كيف يثبتون في مواضعهم و كيف يتاح لبعضهم أن يرقى إلى شئ من امتياز المنصب و ارتفاع المكانة فذلك هو المخالف للطبيعة، المباين لمنطق الدنياكما يقول أديب من أصدقائنا ↗

I learned early that crying out in protest could accomplish things. My older brothers and sister had started to school when, sometimes, they would come in and ask for a buttered biscuit or something and my mother, impatiently, would tell them no. But I would cry out and make a fuss until I got what I wanted. I remember well how my mother asked me why I couldn't be a nice boy like Wilfred; but I would think to myself that Wilfred, for being so nice and quiet, often stayed hungry. So early in life, I had learned that if you want something, you had better make some noise. ↗

Dwelling on him would make him a bigger part of my life than I want him to be. ↗

I thought maybe if she could express herself rather than suffer herself, if she had a way to relieve the burden, she lived for nothing more than living, with nothing to get inspired by, to care for, to call her own, she helped out at the store, then came home and sat in her big chair and stared at her magazines, not at them but through them, she let the dust accumulate on her shoulders. ↗

For each of us, then, the challenge and opportunity is to cherish all life as the gift it is, envision it whole, seek to know it truly, and undertake -with our minds, hearts, and hands- to restore its abundance. It is said that where there's life there's hope, and so no place can inspire us with more hopefulness than that great, life-making sea -that singular, wondrous ocean covering the blue planet. ↗
