"..who knows what miracles
you can achieve when you believe.."
Dear lonely isle,
Sometimes life throws you curve balls.
So you learn to dodge them.
Sometimes, life is generous and throws you sweets.
So pucker up and suckle the honey.
Sometimes, life feels magnanimous, and offers you choices.
So you follow your instincts and pick the wrong one.
Sometimes, no matter what life does to you, life can never go wrong,
so as long as you always think right.
I've never felt that I made a wrong decision. Ever. Because I always believe the decisions I make are right.
Someone once told me that. I'm still pondering if its true. But I'm starting to believe it is.
The only time you've ever made a mistake, was when you started to doubt yourself.
If you think you can, you usually and almost definitely can.
I've heard that one more times than I can remember. And it really is true.
If you believe you can move worlds and make a difference, you usually can.
Behold the power of the mind. What is life but mind over matter?
What is living but a series of cumulative experiences to fuel the soul?
Maybe that's why winners will always be winners. Because they've never felt like they lost.
Everywhere we turn, positivity and self-help books are multiplying like a bad case of bacteria in the gut. Somehow, changing the way you think, changes everything.
Its the way you perceive, that makes all the difference.
Or does it?
What if life always deals you bad cards, like a rigged poker game NOT in your favour?
When you've always been looking down, it's quite hard to look up, because your neck's gone stiff.
And besides, take your eyes off of your feet for just one moment and you get your steps tangled up.
And then suddenly the ground comes up to meet you.
It's quite hard to see anything else when you're lying face down in mud.
Sometimes, when you've tripped over your left foot one too many times, you'd want to stay down.
And just be left alone.
But what is life if we don't fall down? The wise Alfred once said, why do we fall down, Master Bruce?
So that we learn to pick ourselves up again. And again. And again.
And somehow in the midst of the repetitiveness we learn that we will always keep falling down.
And that we will always be able to get back up. Because once you get over the scrapped knees and bruises, its not so hard after all.
It's unbreakable, the human spirit. The wanting to reach out, break free, touch the heavens, steal fire-it's human nature.
Just like curiosity is man's curse, trying is man's blessing.
I'm so glad I kept trying.
Giving up is not something I've had the courage to do.
Today is a good day.
Maybe there are still rewards for the faithful in this world.
love, Joyce.
