If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you, If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies, Or being hated, don’t give way to hating, And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise: If you can dream and not make dreams your master; If you can think and not make thoughts your aim; If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same; If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools: If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breathe a word about your loss; If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone, And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’ If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch, If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you, If all men count with you, but none too much; If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run, Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it, And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!

In all seasons of life one must by all means grow. You have been pulled back like an arrow, Aim to the sky and you won’t miss. Now is your growth season, go for greater heights. be released to your maximum capacity. Whatever Endeavor one must develop and increase. And find new versions of self-daily. grow younger one step at a time. Every week in a month of each year. Be so vibrant in this day than yesterday. Break limits and amaze oneself. Explore better perspectives and territories. Which brings latest opportunities while meeting with diverse cultures of individuals. Expand your capacity in knowledge, wisdom and understanding. Rewire your psyche and don’t be frightened to become new. That’s my concept of growth, in all areas. Like James Thurber’s goal of life. To see the world, things dangerous to come to, to see behind walls, draw closer, to find each other and to feel. I’m fruitful and I multiply so fast. The evil one is constantly on my back trying to bridge the gap. To avoid death don’t you dare stop growing. lacking a vision of morrow, the masses perish. I keep moving if not crawling, so I keep rising. To the occasion on the mountain top. lingering in one place is too expensive. It costs an arm and a leg and I can’t afford that So, my boat can’t be stationery at the shore. I take risky voyages in pursuit of growth. Of cause I encounter with countless storms and dangerous tides attempting to derail me off course. I Stand tall, a mountain of a man. I go in with grit and violence. Against adversaries of my growth. My rising might come against all odds, And prove not be natural but it's a permanent GROWTH. -NA. Lone

Sometimes don't give someone talks about struggles of life, that how much their life is messy now and they have to clean it. Sometimes just be a place where they can hide and be safe until they gain strength and conquer all the chaos. -diksha dhiman

WHY!?
. 😊 Smile That changed the world It made the sunshine It dried up tears It destroyed darkness and destroyed fear It brought joy and laughter Mankind's antidote It brought back peace thereafter A thoughtful anecdote Teeth came out of hiding Reflecting light once more A light too bright for fighting The light opened a door To your mind and to your heart The light opened a door To a new chance and a new start All emanating from.. A smile A smile you kept to yourself

A smile😊💖
Hey dear women Don’t you believe? You’re not less than anyone Because you bleed! You are an epitome of abstract With the universe in your body And you’re the soul of the earth Because you bring lives to feet So never consider yourself any less Than the men you see You can also accomplish anything That you desire to be Keep your head high And do what you need Because we women are the entity That this world will always need.

Gen Z
It’s just a word, but we give it so much power. It isn’t thrown around lightly. It is also a feeling. It can somehow tear us apart from the inside out, or it can put us back together. We need it in our lives and in our hearts. It makes us human. But lately, I haven’t seen much of it. This world needs more love. Throw it around like your life depends on it. In a way, it does.

Love
Yes, I do converse with all the crawling wishes that keep slamming me for never letting them stand and chase the dreams. Yes, I do converse with all the broken dreams that linger on their shape they thought my deeds would provide. Yes, I do converse with all the uncovered routes my feet still long to kiss. Yes, I do converse with all the tough decisions I escaped that considered me gritty enough to not give in. Yes, I do converse with all the choices I avoided where my soul found solace in. Yes, I do converse with all the smiles I faked that had the elements of happiness a morsel or two. Yes, I do converse with all the let go's that I could have stopped, grabbed, hugged and preserved, but I did not. Yes, I do converse, and it keeps me going and it keeps me growing.   -Aparajita Tripathi

LOVE YOU
when we tell them. i will have to be the one to explain a story so insane. ill explain it wasn't love at first sight my heart beating against all my might. i have already known you. you are a reflection of myself. how could you know this, when you've never known her? you can always recognize your own energy. you always know the sound of your own drum. i was drawn to an energy the same as mine. but opposite all aligned. an aura without a place in this time. something about her reminded me of mine. something about her reminded me of the me i left behind. before life changed the beat my drum made at one time.

Not now, darling. Don't judge me When you haven't asked Why I've done such. Not now, honey. When you haven't wondered Why I said so.

Love and Bonds
I don't know how I messed up So badly that it seems. Logically not thinking, Mind crashing in the darkness. My mind is affected By the hate that you propagate. Yet I do nothing To stop it. I share it and say That awareness is a need. But in truth, it is my selfishness That gets in the way. Spread love. Spread it now. Try to look at yourself In a mirror that is no bias. Ask yourself, "Where could that love be?" We were all taught to love When we were but little tots. But how come now, It seems as though we learn hate. The world is dying. And it is burning. We are rotting In the hatred we are spreading. Help! Help! Help me now! Help us now! There is not much time But idle ones for the ignorant. Spread the good Not the bad. The world won't end When you don't get upset at something. Think first before you do it. Does it make peace? Does it destroy wars? Keep in mind that this world is burning. As we are extinguishing The mistakes of man With fellow fire As we burn all in the pyre.

The Good The Bad The Positive
You know if I had those comic book X ray eyes I'd probably wish that I was blind Because, you see a lot of people are in disguise They walk Normal, healthy, and obviously alive But inside there's no vigor, no spark, no life Translation they, Including myself at times Are like the Walking dead, alive but dead inside So how do we cure this outrageous infection and stop this plague during the height of its insurrection the answer is simple, reach out, extend the olive branches attempt to forge those connections Or the walking dead will continue to walk and assail us with no protection

The walking dead
Have you ever felt like you have a purpose? Like you know that you were placed in this world to make a lasting difference? i know i am destined to change lives. i feel that is and will be my riches. not some paper with dead white men. have you ever felt scared with that responsibility? nervous that you don't measure up to the expectations of the higher being that strategically placed you in this world? i don't want to fail any of the souls who are seeking refuge in a listening ear and a sincere heart. I know I can't be there for them all but if i can be for at least some...if i can show someone that they are loved, strong, deserving of happiness, and that life is not as ****** as it seems but it is something beautiful, just like them. if i can guide someone to see their potential and know that they can accomplish good things and be thriving individuals then, i believe, i can drift on knowing that i fulfilled my purpose
