Realisticaly, Is is out of our control what we are going to find in our journey to complete out dreams. What I mean is that we do not live alone in this world and we share it with other people with diferent mentality that might want us to fail or help or simply not do anything. i Belive that no paths great are like roses. In the bible ther is a path of roses or path of stings. Who ever chooses the path of roses, everything will be easy and at the end we wont appreciate it when we finish and acomplish. In the stings path, we will cry, bleed, bend our knees and at the end, we will know how hard it was to get to the end but will be happier and glad we did it, we will appreciate it all, becuase along the way we had "struggles" that we overcame it and then there is glory. We prooved ourselves that we did it. That we are strong. Nothing that was easy is well appreciate it. We should love all paths too. Coelho expresses on his journey to SANTIAGO DE COMPORTELA. He said it was not easy and he suffered too. But he always looked towards the future. To find his sword. he had to fight the fear. The hunger. He also bled. I was also not talking about love. I was talking about how we need to overcome adversity to become and complet a dream like being a doctor or build our own business, or find the right person to love and deserves our love. LOVE TO GIVE LOVE. And set a goal with all our love and passion. And in this case, love is also suffering, otherwise we wont be interested. Ask married couples that are happy now. I am sure that they suffered at some point in life. We are not perfect to just make that person ALL THE TIME happy. We must make mistakes. Love is hard. But this is just my way of thinking. A lot of people wont like it either. Becuase we like to BELIEVE that everything is a path of roses. And what happens if you are too poor to have good clothing? The weather will still be bad. We cant be just cold and look like an igloo and be happy! We need a change of actitud. To look at things in a diferent way. For example, Yes my reality is that is cold and i have bad clothing, and i am freezing. Let me look for help. Be proactive. We Cannot just lay there and think that someone will just appear and help. Nothing is more rewarding that to know that we faught for our dream not matter what was the struggle... Elena Dear Paul…

She reaches for old envelope addressed to herself, her hand picks up a pen and the black ink draws flowers, long grass, trees and a large sun...so large that it almost engulfs the trees. The cat stretches out lazily in front of her, she looks at him and draws him sitting amongst the dancing grass. As if he understands she tells him 'I may have got lost in someone else's garden. I have allowed them to plant and design it how they think is best for me because I felt weak, unsure and had little faith in myself. Now cat it is time I turn on the sprinkler, let the grass grow wild, let the animals take the figs from the trees and just be... me' Samina smiles at the quote of the day, she sits on her sofa although she knows that once again she is late to meet her sister, ‘I have dreams’ she whispers to herself.

Quote IT IS A STRUGGLE, WE HAVE TO SUFFER TO FIND GLORY Unquote. We don't (I believe) have to suffer, rather we just have to "love" to find glory. Buddha said "There is no path to happiness, happiness is the path". I believe he meant we should love the path & remain attentive to it's "Gems", which help us to avoid suffering. On the path, there is never bad weather... only the wrong clothing... ;) Love, & walk the path with your heart as navigator, Paul Yes dear Elenor, … except for one thing… Quote IT IS A STRUGGLE, WE HAVE TO SUFFER TO FIND GLORY Unquote.
