Everyone needs a moment. A moment to breathe, a moment to relax, a moment to find ourselves and who we are. I have learned that life isn't really about the number of days that we are alive, the number of steps we walk, or the number of breaths that we take. Life is about all the little moments that tell us who we are and help us decide who we are going to become. Your not supposed to spend your life looking for the 'hidden meaning' behind it all. I've learned that often people spend so much time desperately searching for the true reason that we are placed on this earth, that they miss out on life. You aren't supposed to spend your days looking through a telescope, gazing at the stars and looking for answers, because what you're going to find, is that the answer is in you.  Life is more than who we are Life is full of beauty. Notice it; the bumble bee, The small child, the smiling faces.  Smell the rain, feel the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential, Fight for your dreams. Hesitate no more, The doors we open and close Each day decide the lives we live.  To let your life go by: An iciness, a sinking, A sikening of the heart... To breath an atmosphere of sorrow. A mortal veil...not for eternity One day, someday, tomorrow, yesterday, Your life will flash before your eyes. Make sure it's worth watching When thoughts of the last bitter hour come, <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">And breathless darkness, takes you breath away Don't go where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, Leave a trail <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">No matter what, your path is yours. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Devote every moment to learning, <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Loving, embracing the pain. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">You don't know what's <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Going to happen tomorrow, <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Nothing is guaranteed <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> A single foot step will not Leave a path on the earth But to make a difference You must be the change You want to see in the world <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Make your self an honest man <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">And you will be happy <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I told him everything <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Now the sun burns bright <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> Use no hurtful deceit, think innocently And justly. Be true to yourself If you cannot put your heart in it, Take yourself out of it <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Any life, no matter how long or short... <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Is made up of one moment... <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">The moment in which a man finds out <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Who HE is.
