Everyone and everything are surrounded by waters. Man will live and die. Animals shall exist and be extinct. Yet, every single drop of water on earth shall remain the same. From the deep oceans below, to the surface of the seas above, the rivers never run dry. The future does not freeze, for not all destinies can be deciphered. Despite the desires and dreams of humans; the roads that lead to our different destinies, are full of unknown destinations. People make wishes, but the will of the spirits always prevail. You desire a life where prosperity flows, just as effortlessly as the river meets the ocean. A time comes in everyone’s life, where they must choose either to swim or sink.

Without darkness, there’s no light. What’s the essence of the light, if there’s no darkness? Without the devil, nobody needs God. Man needs trouble, to triumph always. If life is easy, it will be boring, and boys won’t be boys. Who is going to save the babies, so that they remain babies, and never become adults? Who is going to make sure that innocent babies don’t become like their parents; that they may never have to live in guilt and shame? As we grow, our problems grow. The older, the worse, but never the wiser.

All that flows, does not foam, for the spring takes many forms. Springs can spring out from anywhere, and in anyhow they want. From mountain tops to rocks below, to creeks in hills, and from under stones and sands. If problems can spring up from anywhere, then solutions can surface anyhow; for anything can happen anytime. You should never be afraid of dying, rather be afraid of living, for not everyone can go against the odds. There are things that must happen, no matter how careful one is, for life cares less. Regardless of all your problems, be quiet like the lake; and be at peace with yourself.

“Da mihi aquam bibere – Give me water to drink.” Beloved, breathe and drink water. Don’t kill yourself over what you cannot cure; take care of yourself, for hope is the key. The eyes of 8.8 billion faces, search for hope in many places; but only us can save us. Without peace, there can never be progress. While you are busy trying to restore peace, problems shall arise, and progress shall run. Thus, if you find yourself in a place where there is no peace, run from that place and chase after your progress. Peace is personal.

Sad stories are everywhere, for not all sufferings end in success; many dies sorrowfully. Choices and consequences; you can choose to be whatever you want, but be ready to dance to the beats that you drum. Not all who diced, got what they desired. It is easy to deceive the desperate, for they forget that there’s more to every story. As long as desires are endless, a desperate soul is forever restless. If you get one, you must surely want another. “Quo quis plus habet, eo plus cupit – the more one has, the more one desires.

Dearly beloved, be like water. Adapt, survive, sustain and keep succeeding. Strength comes from self-belief and not muscles, for the mind has a mega muscle of its own. If you don’t believe it, you can never do it well, even if you force yourself to do it. When you hold yourself back, nobody and nothing can push you forward. Be like water beloved, for water holds nothing back, but pushes forward with anything in its way. Look to the stars always. The universe is always in motion, take a peek before the cosmos shifts; and let the stars affirm. Reality is within your grasp, but you must believe in yourself, before you can awaken the greatness in you. Live and let your life flow like a stream, shined upon by the sun; stay within the waters. In life, one can take any form.
