“ “Your entire heart has been scarred through the years; seek the healer who heightens the senses and helps you feel alive. There, you will find the medicine to mend the wounds and restore life.” ”The fear of failure has sabotaged many hopes and dreams.” ”Your words and character travel different paths; you can deceive many, except the one who matters the most.” ”People who don’t keep promises, can’t be trusted.” ”Life without a plan is a life without expectations.” ”Until the conscience has gained sufficient wisdom, desire resembles a raging wildfire.” Why settle for what is provided instead of being motivated to achieve what you want. Complacency is your contentment. ”Imitate the oak trees, stripped naked by the dark winter frost; who recover in the spring to resemble a powerful towering statue of emerald; and relate to its origin, consisting of soil, clouds, and dead plants.” ”You have locked the chain around the heart that loves you; for the perpetual search for love remains hollow.””

“ The pursuit of happiness never ends. Never allow yourself to become comfortable for that is when fear is guiding your decisions. Confronting fear can be exciting and exhilarating. Let others believe your mad. Only you require truth. When you linger in tormented darkness, remember, the dawning always arrives on time. ” You should not first, give thanks for a pot of gold, but instead, because you’re healthy and others are not. Then give thanks for the food you eat because others are hungry. And then give thanks for the shelter you live within because others must sleep in the squalor of the alleys. And once you have given thanks for these necessities, seek out those without them and your soul will be at peace, and the pot of gold remains within your reach.” Every human being on earth has two things in common. Death and a broken heart. When someone tells you something, you know is false and thus displays their ignorance; and you’re not in the frame of mind or mood to challenge them; so, you just say; really. Never reveal your wounds. They will all believe your weaker. They will take advantage of you. When they see how scarred you are. Then you will have no choice. But to fight. And then they will feel the wrath of a warrior. Even the most confident maintain an edge of doubt and fear; for they are the engines that remind us that confidence is a necessity for success.”
— RJ Intindola – (Gandolfo) – 1994 Port St Lucie
“ Every challenge is a chance to succeed.”
