Mountain and Valley

Time and time again,
We hold our heads down low.
In fear of where our lives will take us.
Not knowing where we'll go.
Some of us worry too much.
And some of us not at all.
Some of us never climb,
For fear that we may fall
For those of us on the ground,
We look up in deep regret.
While the others look down below
on the ones they'll soon forget.
Who will climb and who will stay
Only time will tell
Come will fate to do his job
And make sense of all this hell.

No one to blame....

Blame none for your own faults, stand upon your own feet, and take the whole responsibility upon yourselves. Say, "This misery that I am suffering is of my own doing, and that very thing proves that will have to be undone by me alone. " That which I created, I can demolish; that which is created by someone else I shall never be able to destroy. Therefore, stand up, be bold, be strong. Take the whole responsibility on your own shoulders, and know that you are the creator of your own destiny. All the strength and succour you want is within yourselves. Therefore, make your own future. "Let the dead past bury its dead." The infinite future is before you, and you must always remember that each word, thought and deed, lays up a store for you and as these bad thoughts and bad works are ready to spring upon you like tigers, so also there is the inspiring hope that the good thoughts and good deeds are ready with the power of a hundred thousand angels to defend you always and forever.
