Look at the following thoughts:
"Life is a struggle all along the way. May I fight to win the battle on the very spot where I am now.
When fear, anger and suffering try to overcome me, I will view them as a spectator. I will separate myself from my experiences. At all costs I will endeavor to retain my peace and happiness. "

"Welcome all the blows of fate, all the misfortunes and miseries, as gold welcomes the crucible, the hammer and the anvil, in order to get shaped into a jewel ; or as the cane welcomes the chopper, the crusher, the boiler, the pan, the sprayer, the dryer, so that its sweetness may be preserved and used as sugar by all".
Go on!
Sai Ram!

THESE WORDS OF INSPIRATION WERE LIKE THE VITAMIN TABLET FOR ME AND READING IT EVERY DAY GAVE ME THE STRENGTH AND HERE I AM TODAY WITH THIS TOKEN OF OUR FRIENDSHIP AND TRANSFORMATION.

WORDS CANNOT EXPRESS MY SENTIMENTS AND GRATITUDE TO THE HANDS WHICH HELD ME DURING THE WORSE PHASE OF MY LIFE.

IN THE COLD YOU'RE A FIRE'S WARM SPARK
LIKE AN ARROW YOU HEAD FOR THE MARK
YOU JUMP AT MY TROUBLES
THAT VANISH LIKE BUBBLES
LIKE A CANDLE THAT LIGHTS UP THE DARK.
WHATEVER I PROMISE OR PLAN
YOU'RE THERE WHEN I DON'T THINK I CAN
YOU SUPPORT ME SO WELL
MORE THAN WORDS CAN TELL
YOU CHEER LIKE MY VERY BEST FRIEND.
IN WAYS THAT ARE LOVING AND SHARING
YOURSELF YOU GIVE FREELY, NOT SPARING
YOU LOVE IN A STYLE
THAT'S WARM AND WORTHWHILE
NOT SELFISH OR NARROW, JUST CARING.
